I was able to get it to read from /usr with some trial and error. 
Unfortunately i'm not running with admin privileges (On XP) right now so 
i can't reproduce.

I'm using Windows XP -SP2 and a standard file system layout on FreeBSD 
5.3. I think the following should work for ad4s1f if you haven't tried 
this combination yet.
FFS Disk 4
FFS Parition 1
Disklabel 6
