If you didn't capture anything, what kind of disk structure do you have for a setup. If you are capturing output, you need to change where you store it. What I did was add a /var/log/build and captured output from all of my builds went into it. I also have a 1-1.5GB /var slice. I can capture a lot of builds before I run out of space :). They are tending to simplify the disk structure but I happen to like a / (250MB), /tmp (1.5GB), /var (1.5GB), 2x real memory for swap, and everything else is /usr. What version of FreeBSD are you using and what did you add to your kernel? Did you run sh MAKEDEV snd0 or the equivalent after you installed and rebooted to the new kernel.
