>Description:
      Section 5.3 of the handbook (disk-organization) says:
 
    To this day, some tools may operate oddly if told to work on
    partition d, so sysinstall will not normally create partition d.
 
However, when using the `automatic defaults' option from sysinstall on
my system, it does create a partition d for /var, as seen on this text-

   Log:
   This text is too outdated, today, sysinstall(8) has no problems creating a
   partition "d," and any tool should work on it fine.
