I can reliablyreproduce it at will.
Novice installation, creating an fdisk partition with 1 DOS partition in
da0s1a, a 1024MB type 165 in da0s2 and da0s3, and a 2GB+ (or whatever is
left over) in da0s4.
Freebsd labls chop these into root, tmp, var, var/tmp, var/spool, var/log,
var/qmail, var/account, usr, usr/X11R6, usr/local, usr/local/pgsql,
usr/local/pgsql/data, home, SourceControl, Archives, and so on.
If you want, drop me a line and I'll let you in to the machine in question.
Sincerely Yours, Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG
