wiping the first few mb, else disklabel(8) could get confused
<code>
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsdXc bs=1m count=2
</code>

partition the disk as needed
<code>
# disklabel -E sdX
</code>

for each partition, create file system
<code>
# newfs /dev/rsdXc
</code>

optional: give user __user__ access to partition __Y__
<code>
# mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
# chown user:wheel /mnt
</code>
