I based my slice scheme on NetBSD documentation [1], which says:

"Traditionally, e is the partition mounted on /usr, but this is historical
practice and not a fixed value"

So I went with it. With my scheme, I also end up with /home on slice h,
which I like. In any case, the 1.6 release candidate has the newer
sysinstall with greater slice support, so I am happy since I am afraid of
manually editing the disklabel.
