I created a really strange situation:

booted off floppy (killed my freebsd boot program)
ran "reboot"
^C'd that before it rebooted the box
ran /stand/sysinstall
went to the menu option to write a disklabel (I have too many problems
with the command line program and I refuse to believe it works :)
wouldn't let me because I hadn't done fdisk partitions
so I did that but when I tried to write, it came back with an error
so I proceeded back to the disklabel part
did "w" to write the disklabel and when it went to fsck the
filesystem, it panic'd with a recursive entering of some ufs routine
(went by very quickly).

anyone else seen that before or know why it might happen ?
