Hello Subhro,
thank you very much for your advices! I tried, what you've told me, but I
failed right at the beginning. May be you could comment some of my
problems/questions, that would surely help me for the next time.

I just thought the disklabel default value would be fine and as I
previously wrote, I think, I did the same on the old 4.7-system.
It is strange, that I have 64meg of RAM, but 112meg instead of 128meg were
assigned as a default by disklabel for swap!?
Nevertheless I tried to increase swap-space, but I did my next mistake,
because I forgot to umount /data (ad0s1h) before deleting via fdisk. fdisk
complained, did something, but I don't know what.
Then, the the machine stopped booting with the following error-message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/ad0s1h: CANNOT READ: BLK 12759072
/dev/ad0s1h: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN FSCK MANUALLY.
THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPETED INCONSISTENCY:
/dev/ad0s1h (/data)
Automatic file system check failed...help!
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usually I know this error, if an entry in /etc/fstab is wrong. In this
case, I suppose, this partition wasn't formatted correctly!?
I pressed RETURN and found the shell. I could mount filesystems, great,
but I could not delete the /data entry in /etc/fstab, because / partition
was mounted read-only.
After that I tried single-user mode and Fix-it disk, but in both cases, I
even didn't have the most basic commands available:
mount
cd
ls
vi
I could do nothing. I suppose that the reason was, that I should have
supplied the full path to the command, because no PATH-environment is set
in case of using singel user mode or fixit.
Well, this idea came to late and I gave up and started a new FreeBSD 4.9
installation, with, I hope enough swap space!

As this is such a slow machine, I would prefer not do to this at them
moment. Later I'll do.

Will cvsup <portsupfile> do, even the ports tree is completely empty!? If
so, that's cool and easy. Isn't there somewhere the port-db, which also
have to be made new? I thought the db is located in /var/db/pkg.

Good idea.

Thanks again for your help. It would be really nice, to have some little
comments on my mistakes!

too and sysinstall tried to install an older version of doxygen (1.2.x)
than the port tree offers (1.3.3). See the follwing error message:
