I just noticed somthing: I setup an 8.0-RELEASE amd64 box, / is default 512M. First step after setup was to csup to RELENG_8 and buildkernel and buildworld (no custom kernel, no make.conf). Instaling the new kernel failed, since /boot/kernel/ is already well over 230 MBytes in size. moving that to kernel.old and writing a new one with about the same size fails due to no space left on device.
