Umm.  No, actually the partioning utility said partions map entries 1 and 2 
will be the partion map and drivers (Order may be wrong but is not important.)
It then said that the third partion map entry will point to the partion
containing the Boot MacOS (MacOS Partion w/ System Folder) which you specify
when creating the partion.  Before creating the MacOS partion the map was as
expected:
Partion map, Drivers, Root, Swap, and Usr.
   But then when I created the fourth file system Partion, a MacOS partion
for booting the system, the utility intensionally moved the Root map entry
to the first open slot to make room for the MacOS at slot 3.  Hence:
Partion map, Drivers, MacOS, Swap, Usr, Root.

  I can see why you might want to do this.  But I was just tring to point out
a possible pitfall and help make MacBSD that much more robust.

  I belive the approprate person heard me and all will be well soon. :)
