Yes, I've made the same mistake using the default partition table on a
recent 4.2 installation.  Considering that the /mail and /log directories
are in /var I don't understand why it defaults to 20MB?!  Anyway, in my case
no big harm was done as I just wanted to get my feet wet with FreeBSD (I'm
coming from BSDi) and basically I'm going to wipe everything and install 4.3
when it's out.
