Well, it seems the installer decided to crash part way through the 
installation. I had it set to 6megs of ram, but it apparently found some 
other reason to crash. I found it frozen when I came back expecting to 
find a completed installation.

It froze while installing the misc.tgz file which I had set up late in 
the process. Therefore bsd does boot now and although it again complained 
that file system xxx wasn't clean, I managed to run fsck and repair it. 
Rebooting also seems to work now. In fact, now that I seen how it is 
supposed to work, I'm sure it was broken yesterday.

Can I just run the installer again and try to finish the misc.tgz and 
other files (I wanted to put X11 on there too.) Or am I stuck with yet 
another fresh install process?
