It's impossible to have 1500 MB of free space on a partition like ad0s1a
that has a size of 128 MB.  What does df(1) report?

	# df

Post the output of:

	# dmesg | grep ad
	# fdisk /dev/ad0
	# disklabel /dev/ad0s1
	# cat /etc/fstab
	# mount
	# df

That should help a bit in discovering what's wrong.
