I don't recall using disk 2 during installation; I think it's just a
rescue disk.

I'm wondering if you have simply run out of space on /usr, 1.5GB is quite
small. A default FreeBSD installation will allocate only a few hundred MB
for /, and give almost all the space to /usr (/home is then linked to
/usr/home).

However, if I were you, I wouldn't install 5.1 at all, now that 5.2 is
available.
