Great! I was able to install the generic kernel so I should be safe
when going up from 7.0 to 7.1. And I still have some space left in /.

$ df -h /
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ar0s1a    242M    194M     29M    87%    /

Thank you all for the information! Great! Now the scary thing...
upgrade the system to 7.1 :)
