Don't you happen to have overlapping partitions? What does
disklabel say about your disk?

I keep /usr/pkg and /usr/pkgsrc in /usr/local (/usr/local/pkg, /usr/local/pkgsrc), and /usr/local is it's own fs. /usr is mounted read-only by default, with no specal options. I have Gnome installed from pkgsrc-current. I had just installed Mozailla-1.0, and was running it as an unpriviliged user. It froze repeatedly, and repeatedly, I 'skill -9'ed it as root. Then when I ran skill, I got a 'skill: not found', and upon investigation, found the entire /usr fs unaccessible. I rebooted, and the entire fs was crashed. After a 'fsck -y /dev/rwd0e', I just had a pile of inode numbers in /usr/lost+found. They appeared to total up to what had been there. I have re-installed base.tgz, comp.tgz, and text.tgz (they were stored in /home, YAY!) and will be rebuilding from source tonight.
