Thanks.

While this is an older Dell laptop as I said earlier, it still has a
decent sized drive.  And I am following the guidelines in the handbook
at the beginning of section 2.6.5 Creating Partitions Using Disklabel:

/ (root) is 4 GB
swap     is 4 GB
/var     is 4 GB
/usr     is the rest of the disk - in this case 99 GB

Bottom line, I think this is sufficient - it was for 8.2-RELEASE and
-STABLE.  Plus the handbook says "at least 8 GB" for /usr.

Oh, and this is a "dangerously dedicated" drive housing only FreeBSD.
That is, I'm using the entire disk for FreeBSD.  Thanks again.

Or, perhaps you are saying 4 GB is insufficient for /var?  Since it
seems to be complaining about not being able to write to "var/xxxx".

Regards,
