mount will tell you:

$ mount
/dev/wd0a on / type ffs (local, softdep)
/dev/wd0d on /tmp type ffs (local, softdep)
/dev/wd0e on /var type ffs (local, softdep)
/dev/wd0f on /home type ffs (local, softdep)
/dev/wd0g on /usr type ffs (local, softdep)

you just missed it.  do it like this:

$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw,softdep 1 1
/dev/wd0d /tmp ffs rw,softdep 1 2
/dev/wd0e /var ffs rw,softdep 1 2
/dev/wd0f /home ffs rw,softdep 1 2
/dev/wd0g /usr ffs rw,softdep 1 2
