No.  The disk is the default (UFS2 I believe).

So I just reinstalled BSD again and this time I did not reinitialize  
the file system and after a brief disk integrity check it reinstalled  
and files I had added were still there!

So apparently the file system did not get munged as much as the main  
disk partition map got nailed.

So, what has changed recently that could mess with the disk partition  
map?  I have Windows on the first disk partition and it has not been  
harmed with these problems.
