Yup.

The `-r' is not needed here, but it shouldn't hurt either.

disk specs?  What disk specs?  Simply ``newfs -d0 /dev/rsd1e'' etc.,
for all your partitions defined in step 2.

The `auto' in disklabel is automatic (obviously :), and since the `c'
partition is an implicit one, it will also show up immediately in step
2.  The actual partition layout is, of course, your decision, and
since step 3 depends on the partitions you've been creating in step 2,
it's also non-automatic.
