What you want to do is to make the fstype of a 4.2BSD and the fstype of b
swap. The fstype of c should be unused, because it should refer to the
whole disk. You cannot newds a partition unless it is of an fstype that
newfs understands.

You should make sure that the partions do not overlap. Also you should make
more partitions to mount /usr /var etc. Try using disklabel -i sd0
