Edit /etc/fstab and add the 'noauto' flag to the appropriate line. 
Something like this:

     /dev/ad0s2f   /usr100  ufs  rw,noauto  2   2

You shouldn't need to recreate the disk or partition labels every time 
you reboot, unless you are wiping and re-installing most of the disk 
each time.

If you're using sysinstall(8) to do an automatic install as part of your 
netboot process, then as far as I can tell, there's no way using the 
scripted interface to tell it to create a UFS partition but not newfs or 
mount it -- although that's easy enough using sysinstall interactively.

I'd be thinking more along the lines of ditching sysinstall(8) entirely 
for that purpose and using fdisk(8), bsdlabel(8) and newfs(8) directly.

	Cheers,
