Something went wrong when specifying the disks where the OS
is to be installed to. As it has already been mentioned, /
is placed on a RAM disk. Extraction of the OS's components
has to go to the mountpoints where your correctly created
partitions reside (which are more than big enough, especially
regarding /, I think).

Did you do the installation via the sysinstall utility? If
not, make sure the correct mount points are given for the
software installation, e. g.

	/dev/ad0s1a -> /mnt/
	/dev/ad0s1d -> /mnt/tmp
	/dev/ad0s1e -> /mnt/var
	/dev/ad0s1f -> /mnt/usr
	/dev/ad0s1g -> /mnt/home

The structures in / (/bin, /usr/local etc.) are not the
structures you want to have on the disk you're installing on.



PS. Where's your /home partition? :-)
