It would be easier to re-install FreeBSD, if easy is defined as the path
requiring the least thought. :-)

Have a look at _why_ your root partition is filling up. Perhaps you can
move some of the stuff onto the new device, or just clean up? your
clean-up will probably begin with this command

	du -skx /

See the du(1) manpage for more details.

Ciao,
