    Essentially, you've got it. Instead of using sysinstall you could
    simply add the lines:

    enable_quotas="YES"
    check_quotas="YES"

    to your /etc/rc.conf file.

    You don't need to create these manually. If you reboot after setting up
    the above then the startup scripts will create them for you. Then to
    edit them you would use the edquota command.

    There's a chapter in the handbook about quotas at
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/quotas.html.
    If you find it lacking in any way then we'd appreciate some feedback
    over at doc@FreeBSD.org.

    Finally, questions of this sort should be directed to the
    questions@FreeBSD.org list in future.
