	After taking a second look at your letter, I realize that I'm
talking out of my ass.  Forget my suggestions.  :)

	Instead, if you can afford to erase your hard drive and
re-install, reinstall FreeBSD and use the auto-defaults setting when
you're in the disk label editor.  That will get /var (var = variable, in
other words it changes often) off of your / partition.  Also, if you can,
after your finish installing and reboot your box, use ln to make /tmp be
nothing more than a link to /usr/tmp.  That will help a bit, too.

	Don't worry about the procfs on /proc.  FreeBSD uses that as a
virtual file system and it has nothing to do with disk activity.
