Hmm.. I tried that and it didn't seem to work.

The disklabel change was successful, but growfs didn't seem to
expand the root partition any.. df(1) still shows it as 50M.

I ran growfs after booting single user mode but before mounting
any disks.. perhaps that caused it to not work.

Since that didn't work, I booted a 4.7-REL fixit floppy and tried
to run growfs from there, but then that growfs core dumped:

    Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
    #0  0x804c089 in updclst (block=-874) at growfs.c:2335
    2335            setbit(cg_clustersfree(&acg), block);
    (gdb) list
    2330                    return;
    2331            }
    2332            /*
    2333             * update cluster allocation map

    2335            setbit(cg_clustersfree(&acg), block);
    2336
    (gdb) where
    #0  0x804c089 in updclst (block=-874) at growfs.c:2335
    #1  0x8049584 in updjcg (cylno=2, utime=1039185218, fsi=4, fso=3, Nflag=0)

    #4  0x8048135 in _start ()

Notice "block=-874" which indicates something is weird or corrupted.

So now I've got extra space in the partition which (apparently) is
not being used and I can't seem to get at it (see below).

Plus I have a sneaking suspicion that I've screwed up something,
but there's nothing in the growfs man page that indicates what I
did was wrong.

FYI, this is a test machine so it's OK if it gets hosed.
