Why not just use a custom disklabel template that suits your needs? This is the -t option to /sbin/disklabel. As a starting point, the following template is broadly equivalent to the defaults that are hard-coded in to /sbin/disklabel for 'large' volumes: / 150M-1G 5 SWAP 80M-256M 10 /tmp 120M-4G 8 /var 80M-4G 13 /usr 1500M-30G 10 /usr/X11R6 384M-1G 3 /usr/local 1G-20G 15 /usr/src 2G-5G 2 /usr/obj 5G-6G 4 /home 1G-300G 30 Although note that /sbin/disklabel has code to modify the swap and var partitions based on the physical memory of the machine, and this logic cannot, (currently), be expressed in such a template. Whilst we're here, there is still a comment in editor.c that says that the swap and var entries are further adjusted from the defined values in editor_allocspace(). In fact, this code was moved out to allocate_physmemincr() in revision 1.412 last year. Maybe the comment should be updated to reflect this.
