I'm sure Colin meant that you should replace ? with the actual device
number such as (most likely) 0.

This '??', likewise.

You have to edit fstab by yourself if you didn't tell Installer to
do it for you.  Assuming your additional BSD partition is recognized
as sd0g, your additional line in fstab would be:

/dev/sd0g	/whereever/mount/point/you/like	ffs	rw 1 2

Here, of course you should replace the /whereever/... part with the
actual path name of your choice.  Such as /home, /usr2, /opt, or
whatever.

Where's the swap partition?  And what's the UNIX "boot" partition?

What driver did you have in your mind?  It may have been done by
some other people, depending on the device.
