my 2 cents ;-)

I had a similar experience running 1.3 (Generic). I ran newfs on every
partition and successfully have df reporting what seems like a more
plausible report for multiple partitions
/ 	/usr	/var 	/home

man newfs and see if it has any appeal for you, if so it could be a way to
fix things. It worked for me
