I just filled / on my laptop during the installworld (due to
/tmp/install*) after my first installkernel after this change.  I was
able to free up enough space to do the installworld, but I'll be in
trouble after the next installkernel results in copies of kernel.debug
in both /boot/kernel and /boot/kernel.old, and I'll lose the ability to
stash away a third kernel version.

I did the initial FreeBSD install before the default root size was
increased to 500M and I'm not looking forward to trying to resize root.
