The problem was, as it usually is, user error. I was playing with the
c partition of the disk drive. Please DO NOT mess with the c partition
of the disk. The default disklabel from /etc/disktab usually give the
c partition all the sectors or cylinders. And since I had no
intentions of using it, I had no problems setting it back. Also their
were several other recommendations such as making sure that at the
"P00>>>" prompt "bootdef_dev" was set to " ".(i.e. nothing). Their
were also other suggestions that pointed to issues when the memory
filesystem gets screwed up it can do funny things to you, so the
suggestion was to try and halt the system and restart the process.
So my final disklabel for the 18GB drive looks like...
# size offset
a: 1048576 0 # /
b: 1048576 1048576 # swap1
c: 35565080 0
d: 512 2097152
e: 512 2097664
f: 512 2098176
g: 16733196 2098688 # /usr
h: 16733196 18831884 # /var
# restart
