You can of course read "man hier" to obtain information about the file system hierarchy. In settings where partitions are used to separate functional parts of the hierarchy, there's often not much stuff that goes into /, because / is primarily reserved for the basic system and the mountpoints; things like /tmp, /var, /usr and /home go to different partitions. Check the content of /boot. Maybe you have more than one kernel image and module files in there. You can as well use # du -sch / with only / mounted to get a first impression which subtrees do occupy how much disk space. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
