You should install the 'vilearn' package from pkgsrc.

1) Make sure /dev/sd0e does not overlap any existing partitions.
Check the output from 'disklabel(8)'.
2) If it does not already contain a filesystem, run
# newfs /dev/sd0e
3) Mount it and copy across data
# mount /dev/sd0e /mnt
# cd /usr
# pax -rw -pe . /mnt
# umount /mnt
4) Edit /etc/fstab and add '/dev/sd0e /usr ffs rw 1 2'
5) Shutdown to single user mode and make new mountpoint
# shutdown now
# mv /usr /usr.old
# mkdir /usr
6) Bring system up, test, and when all OK, 'rm -rf /usr.old'

The compiler in the comp.tar.gz should be fine

I'm afraid I can't help there - maybe someone else on the list?
