OK, that helps some, but I am not sure of the correct action.
There have been reported some problems with machines having 48 megs of
ram in them. I do not remember the reason why, offhand. Try posting
this information to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, and one of the gurus
will be able to help. There may be some info on this problem in the FAQ.

Possibly this is related to the 48 meg ram syndrome. If the disk booted
that far, the rawrite was probably OK.

I will bounce this along to freebsd-questions, for you, and I am sure
one of the folks will have the answer for you.
Good Luck.

p.s. Can anyone relay to this person the info on the 48 meg ram problem.
I sounds a bit like he is having such a problem on his bootup.
All my machines are an order of magnitude less in ram.....(:+{{.....
