[ILUG] Partition scheme

I'm trying to create a partition scheme in NetBSD that will allow me to use
the entire disk (4gigs) as the /var partition. My problem is that I can't
really
figure the disk geometry that disklabel outputs:

# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
  a: 131072 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 57*)
  b: 262144 131072 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 57*-
173*)
  c: 8380080 0 FILECORE # (Cyl. 0 -
3707)
  g: 3993432 393216 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 173*-
1940*)
  h: 3993432 4386648 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 1940*-
3707)

Is there a way I could create a 4.2BSD filesystem using all the free space
on
the drive in say, sd0a ?

There is probably an easier way of working this out :)
