Thanks to all that responded. All went so smooth that I feel compelled to
once again thank the core team for their excellent work. I also want to
thank the FreeBSD community for being the best tech support I know of 
(and being all-around outstanding folks in general).

For those interested, I now have the following as opposed to my prior
configuration which can be found further below:

Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0s1a     31775    16753    12480    57%    /
/dev/wd0s1f   2864414   858947  1776314    33%    /usr
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc
/dev/wd2h      606256   136643   421113    24%    /home
/dev/wd2g       98478    22271    68329    25%    /var

I ended up using my old /var space as swap, increasing my total swap from
74 Megs to 204. This is a radical increase, but I really was running out
of swap all the time with only 74 megs (32 physical) thanks to netscape
and other X programs. Even if this is a total waste of disk space, I feel
much safer :). Similarly, I was running out of /var space thanks mainly to
mail and accounting, and my new setup seems to perform much better.

Thanks again!

Dave
