now that we have fictious disklabels, this becomes more like the
other ports.

-Here is an example of what the partition information will look like once
-you have entered the disklabel editor. Disk partition sizes and offsets
-are in sector (most likely 512 bytes) units. Make sure these size/offset
-pairs are on cylinder boundaries (the number of sector per cylinder is
-given in the `sectors/cylinder' entry, which is not shown here).
-
-For the boot disk, partition `a' must be offset one cylinder (the number
-of sectors per cylinder should be given as the offset) and partition
-`c' must have an fstype of `unused'. Non-boot disks may start filesystems
-at offset 0.
-
-If there is no existing label on the disk, you MUST EDIT THE DISK GEOMETRY.
-Please have information on your disk at hand in order to do so. Failure
-to correct the disk geometry will result in your system being unable to
-boot from the disk you are installing on to. Be sure `cylinders',
-`total sectors' and `rpm' are set to something reasonable; this may be
-accomplished with the `e' command from within the disklabel editor.
-
-[Example]
-16 partitions:
-# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
- a: 50176 1574 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 1 - 111)
- b: 64512 50176 swap # (Cyl. 112 - 255)
- c: 640192 0 boot # (Cyl. 0 - 1428)
- d: 525504 114688 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 256 - 1428)
-[End of example]

+If you are unsure of how to use multiple partitions properly
+(ie. seperating /, /usr, /tmp, /var, /usr/local, and other things)
+just split the space into a root and swap partition for now.
