I have an 80 gig HD and a fresh install of FreeBSD, so i know my hd is not full. perhaps this has something to do with the partitioning scheme. I am new to FreeBSD, but I have been a linux user for some time, so i am basically familiar with commands. I cannot create a new user(tried kuser/ adduser and sysinstall util) I cannot edit any system files under /etc. I cannot create any new directories under / and copy anything into them. in fact, I cannot do anything unless it entails writing to /usr, /var or /home.
