If I correct then you installed first version 8.1-RELEASE. There was /
default size of 512MB and due to larger kernel during your
installkernel backup copy of your existing kernel was done and then
installed new kernel tree /boot/kernel. Unfortunately 512MB is not
enough and that's why snapshot version of 8.1-STABLE got 1024MB /
partition by default now.
