I've booted Daves -current diskless on the M38 and tried to install on the
local disk. The result ist always the same:

 We now have your BSD-disklabel partitions as:
 This is your last chance to change them.

    Start  MB   End  MB  Size  MB FS type    Newfs Mount Mount point
    -------uid 0, pid 6, command sysinst, on /: file system full

/: write failed, file system is full
pid 6 (sysinst): user write of 115108@0x7f61f000 at 178520 failed: 28
[1]   Segmentation fault      sysinst
# .profile        etc             mnt2            sysinstmsgs.de
targetroot
bin             kern            sbin            sysinstmsgs.es  tmp
boot            libexec         sysinst         sysinstmsgs.fr  usr
dev             mnt             sysinst.core    sysinstmsgs.pl  var
# /dev/md0a on / type ffs (local)
# 

So, now I nees some ideas. What should I try next?
