I wouldn't name that "typical" ;-)

The fs-type for /dev/ra0a should read "ffs" instead of "nfs".

BTW: Not that it really matters but the "classical" way of partitioning
a disk (eg. ra0, 'a' to 'h' denoting the 8 possible partitions) would be

	ra0a		for first/boot partition
	ra0b		for swap [optional]
	ra0c		for the complete disk
	ra0d		for the *BSD part of disk (usually the same as 'c')
	ra0[e-h]	for additional partitions/filesystems [optional]
