I tested it on my personal workstation at work.  It seemed to work as

    orion# mount
    /dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
    devfs on /dev (devfs, local)

    /dev/ad0s4f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
    /dev/ad0s4e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
    /dev/md1 on /tmp (ufs, local, nodev, noexec, nosuid, soft-updates)
