Did we must put the mounted partition '/' and '/boot' in the same slice ?

[Shark Wang]

as I had read some partitions material about legacy Unix, I try to 
separate '/boot' from '/' for my large space on '/' .

another question come up : Is ad0s1d the first blocks of the disk which 
based on partitions layout that my gave?

thanks!
