Hello,

This seems to be the nub of your problem. The message saying "the
filesystem is full" means the partition is full, not the harddrive.
Make sure the drive's geometry and that reported in disklabel agree. I
think you should start over and use the instructions at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html
as a guide, particularly section 2.5.5.
As to the problem with the router and intermittent failures to connect,
that sounds like TCP/IP problem. The fact it seemingly goes away is
very odd. Make sure you're not using an IP address already assigned to
some other interface (and may as well that your subnet mask, hostname,
and DNS address are correct, too). Double check that you're using a
supported NIC.

HTH,

Stheg
