Re: /boot is full after running "make installkernel" on FreeBSD 8.0

Thanks guys. :-) Doesn't that seem odd that the "default" partition size for root (512M) isn't quite big enough? Should I make the partition size slightly larger (on future installs) to eliminate this problem? Ed ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mail
