The default for architectures that have a

When it restarts the screen goes black like it has crashed. I will try rebooting again and watch it carefully to see if any messages show up.

Depending on the hardware, the dmesg(8) buffer may not be cleared on reboot. A failure message, if recorded in the buffer, might appear in the buffer after successfully booting
/bsd.sp.

When I get it to boot from bsd.sp a warning I always see is / was not unmounted properly.

That will occur whenever the previous mount of the filesystem was not cleanly unmounted.

How do I determine the available space for user share?
|
The directory is
/usr/share/. Usually, this will be a directory within the
/usr/ filesystem. The df(1) command will show the current capacities of all mounted filesystems.
$ df -h will show the space in easy-to-understand KB/MB/GB/TB format.

What should I delete from there to free up space?
|
If this is actually the problem, you can delete the contents of
/usr/share/compile/.

Something else I noticed is there is no bsd.mp file. So perhaps it is trying to load it and it crashes because it isn't there?

No, during installation on a multi-CPU system, the installer saves the GENERIC kernel as "bsd.sp", and the GENERIC.MP kernel as "bsd" so your root directory would not contain a
/bsd.mp file.

Also I am wondering if I should copy the obsd file over the bsd file. Perhaps the bsd file was corrupted.

You can just select it by name at the
boot> prompt to test it, and if that solves your immediate problem, you can then copy it.
