In new installations I generally just create a slice for boot (often much bigger than what is really needed, perhaps 10Gb, since the disks are usually very large), swap according to expected maximum memory the system will ever have installed (easier to plan ahead, and again, the disks are huge so few gigabytes here or there don't really make a difference), and one for /usr. That way /tmp and /var are placed in the boot slice by the initial installation, and then I proceed to move them to under /usr as described in my post above. That’s a good point.
