I began with a fresh install (-current 4.99.17):
/dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/sd0b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sd0e /usr ffs rw 1 2
/dev/sd0f /var ffs rw 1 2
/dev/sd0g /home ffs rw 1 2
/dev/sd0b /tmp mfs rw,-s=131805
kernfs /kern kernfs rw
procfs /proc procfs rw,noauto
The disk after cgd install looks like this:
/dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/cgd0b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cgd0b /tmp mfs rw,-s=131805
/dev/cgd0e /usr ffs rw 1 2
/dev/cgd0f /var ffs rw 1 2
/dev/cgd0g /home ffs rw 1 2
kernfs /kern kernfs rw
procfs /proc procfs rw,noauto

Yes, that seemed to work ok.

Yup. Of course. I need to have that in place.
Thanks,
