All the stuff is built in /usr/obj. On my system, the 6.0-STABLE build
I did yesterday looks like this:
{frank:adam:~} df /usr/obj/
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s2e 507630 405354 61666 87% /usr/obj
However, I have trimmed some stuff from userland and the kernel. With 3GB
free in /usr you should have plenty of space.
