Yes.  After the root partition is "automagically mounted" you must _first_
create a /usr directory in order to have a mount-point on which you can
mount the /dev/sd0g.  You don't create /usr after mounting, because, as
you noted, you won't have any place to mount the second partition.

The good news is, if you run the "create fstab" operation (I forget the
actual name) while you've got the /usr mounted, it will create an entry in
/etc/fstab automagically, too.
