Looks like you may getting slices and partitions confused. Generally your
partitions are subsets of slices eg:
ad0s1a
ad0s1b
ad0s1c
ad0s1d
ad0s1f
Where as your output is something like this:
ad0s1
ad0s2
ad0s3
ad0s4
Unless you have some pressing reason to do otherwise, choose the Auto
settings they are sufficient for most purposes.
