What in particular do you not understand? You have to be more specific.

ok when i wish to install the partition, it ask me to slice or boot and others, i dont know what to make them as.

C = Create Slice
S = Set Bootable

those are the only ones i dont get

i dont know which partition to make bootable

like i said i know nothing about BSD

Slice is a partition, just create them one by one, / /var /usr and so on.

You only need to set / bootable (root slice, or root partition).
