If he should not have the possibility to just wipe the entire disk to 
reinstall it (eg. this is his only disk and it is full of valuable data), 
he might be able to boot into single user, mount /usr and /tmp, and cram 
the entire contents of /usr into /tmp (using some sort of compression, e.g 
gzip) and then newfs /usr with more sensible values before restoring the 
contents from /tmp.
