Would it be easier to re-install FreeBSD? Check to see if clearing out /tmp or maybe root has a lot of stuff in /root. You can probably add a new drive or reinstall. Either way is not terribly difficult. If you are inexperienced at adding discs, you might try to do that as an exercise. If you mess up real bad, then you just reinstall anyway. Backup your important files!
