i-nodes are the areas where the file system saves information such as
the owner, the size and pointers to the data area of a normal or special
file or a directory.

2 GB is a lot of space for a virgin FreeBSD installation.  The base
system takes up to 170 MB on a clean disk here.

- Have you tweaked the newfs options that sysinstall used?
- Have you installed any extra packages?  How many and which?
