Kids theres days... ;-)

But seriously now: as someone using FreeBSD on embedded devices, I'll
definitely complain. There's absolutely NO reason a root partition
should be that big (in the default install)!

Where's the bloat coming from anyway? From debug symbols of *two*
kernels (/boot/kernel, and /boot/kernel.old)! Nothing prevents us
from moving those debug symbols outside that tree into another
partition (e.g. /var).

Please keep / minimalistic. Everything else can be worked around
nicely; an ever growing root fs (a la Linux?) being the notable
exception.

Thanks,
