Does anyone here know how much data a default FreeBSD install puts
onto the root partition?  We've got a sentence in the installation
chapter of the handbook that claims that a regular FreeBSD install
will put about 40 MB of data on the root partition.

I find it likely that this is no longer true on a modern system, since
my (debug) kernel is 88 MB, but I don't have a box handy on which I
can do a quick install.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html
is the page in question.

Thanks,

Ben Kaduk
