ae@ had a good idea with his sade project at
svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/user/ae/usr.sbin/sade . It lists the
available partition types in a list which the user can select from.

I thought it was /home. If you don't have a separate /home partition
then /home gets symlinked to /usr/home.  But please don't set the
homedir to /usr/home in /etc/passwd because that'll break systems where
people put /home on a different disk.
