I have used gpart to partition a USB flash drive into FreeBSD boot partition, 
root partition and swap partition.

making swap partition on USB pendrive is at least stupid. if you won't swap at all - wasted space. If you will it would be so slow and wear USB pendrive so quickly that you certainly don't want this.


bsdlabel -w device

bsdabel -e  device and make "a" partition start from 0 to end, 4.2BSD

newfs it

bsdlabel -B

and put everything in one partition.

make heavy use of tmpfs, make sure noatime is put in fstab to limit writes to pendrive.
