I'm not sure where the size difference comes from. I have some sparc64 systems running -current with symbols and the size of /boot/kernel is more comparable to i386, even with the 8-byte pointer size: > uname -p sparc64 > du -sk /boot/kernel 137918 /boot/kernel > So indeed, on amd64 and possibly some other 'big' architectures (ia64?), > cranking the default root filesystem size to e.g. 1024M would be nice.
