I downloaded the 8.0-BETA2-amd64-bootonly.iso and burned it last night.  
After the installation, I immediately cvsuped and did a buildworld and  
build kernel. Then, after reboot I did the installworld and I ran out of  
room on my root partition.

The thing is, in the disklabel editor I chose Auto Defaults for all, giving  
me a root partition of 500 megs. Maybe the Auto Defaults for all should  
make the root partition larger than 500 megs.
