Since /home is on a different partition you have to use softlinks.

You don't; you make it one time and then you just have to be sure you
mount /home; if you need /var/db in some early stage you should ask on
questions (actually this mail should have been posted there too.)

Don't see any, but this is the reason questions should be asked
on questions@

Quote from FreeBSD-Newbies First Aid Kit

"    FreeBSD-Questions at FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions
about    installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help
requests    are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies
questions. It is    particularly important to send all installation
questions and answers    to FreeBSD-Questions so that they only appear
in one place.

    FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for FreeBSD help or
answer    how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies.
