See mine for example: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 739M 64M 616M 9% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1e 739M 15M 665M 2% /tmp /dev/ad0s1f 69G 25G 38G 40% /usr /dev/ad0s1d 739M 59M 621M 9% /var /dev/ad1s1 28G 24G 3.8G 86% /mnt linprocfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /usr/compat/linux/proc The most you should need for / is 128MB (I think that is default during install) please sent the output of these commands "df -h", "more /etc/fstab", and "disklabel ad0s1"
