Terminology: Slices are with numbers, partitions are with letters. :-)
E. g. da0s1 is the FreeBSD slice, its partition a = da0s1a is /,
while /var corresponds to partition da0s1f.
Unless you've got GPT disks where there are usually only partitions and
they're numbered:
arthur@fileserver> gpart show ada5
=> 34 976773101 ada5 GPT (466G)
34 6 - free - (3.0K)
40 64 1 freebsd-boot (32K)
104 2097152 2 freebsd-ufs (1.0G)
2097256 2097152 3 freebsd-ufs (1.0G)
4194408 8388608 4 freebsd-swap (4.0G)
12583016 964190119 5 freebsd-ufs (460G)
arthur@fileserver> ls /dev/ada5*
/dev/ada5 /dev/ada5p1 /dev/ada5p2 /dev/ada5p3 /dev/ada5p4
/dev/ada5p5
Personally I prefer labelling everything, which GPT makes easier.
