Yeah, I'm not sure what the problem was here.  After
every install I get this problem.  But if I then login
in single-user mode from a different kernel, I can
re-fdisk (non-BSD), mkswap and now it works.  Dunno.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who helped.  I have the
machine up in full multi-user mode.  Still not on the
network, but if I can't figure that out I'll come back
later.
