The main two reasons for dividing up your FreeBSD disk in to

Think those things out to meet your needs and resources.
OK. But then what would be ideal slice size for /, /var, /usr, /boot?
That's not something that can be answered easily with a "template"
answer. The best sizes are those that match your own needs and
preferences, but only you can describe what these are.'
Back when I bought a new, bigger disk, I wrote this post:
http://keramida.serverhive.com/weblog/archives/2004-10-26/daemonizing-a-n
ew-disk
which includes a description of the partitions I used and why I chose
these sizes.
The tuning(7) manpage also has a good description of how to pick a good
disk partitioning scheme:

th=FreeBSD+6.0-RELEASE+and+Ports
Thanx. This is very good explanation.
