I tried exactly that, I have stable running with / on wd0a, swap wd0b and /home, /var, /usr, /tmp on another partitions. I remounted /tmp to newly created partition and I created another partitions with disklabel.
But when I boot from floppy, in disklabel root partition si somehow sticky with wd0a, no matter what I specify. I tried to edit mount points with 'n' switch to left wd0a blank, and force / to be on wd0d but without success, after quiting disklabel I always get wd0a will be mounted as root, wd0b as swap space.
Could someone point me to the right direction ? 
Thanks
