Unable to create the partition. Too big?

Hi folks,
I am trying to custom partition my 73GB SCSI hard drive using 5.3. When I
first create the partions using the Auto Default option I get the
following table:
amrd0s1a / 256MB UFS2 Y
amrd0s1b swap 2022MB SWAP
amrd0s1d /tmp 256MB UFS2+S Y
amrd0s1e /var 256MB UFS2+S Y
amrd0s1g /usr 67085MB UFS2+S Y
OK, so far so good but I want bigger /, /tmp and /var partitions. So I
deleted them and recreated them to the following:
amrd0s1b swap 2022MB SWAP
amrd0s1a / 512MB UFS2 Y
amrd0s1d /tmp 512MB UFS2+S Y
amrd0s1e /var 1024MB UFS2+S Y
Now, I just cannot create the /usr partition. If fails with: "Unable to
create the partition. Too big?" Although the top line tells me there is
65805MB left which is less than the auto created partition...
Bug or am I missing here something? Thanks. Dave
