Combining the above and your posting in
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2010-August/009176.html
for my case I should have done:

# gpart create -s mbr ad4                 # Init the disk with an MBR
# gpart add -t freebsd ad4                # Create a BSD container
# gpart create -s bsd ad4s1               # Init with a BSD scheme
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs  -s 1G ad4s1   # 1GB for /
# gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s 2G ad4s1   # 2GB for swap
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs  -s 2G ad4s1   # 2GB for /var
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs  -s 1G ad4s1   # 1GB for /tmp
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs ad4s1          # all rest for /usr

Right?

I'm unsure about the 3rd command (gpart create -s bsd ad4s1), should it
use 'ad4' as you say above, or 'ad4s1' as in the August's post?

In any case, next time whene I have an empty disk to initialize, I will
play around with this. Thanks again
