Only minimal kernel on installation media and large /boot/loader.conf (on installation media) with all current drivers from GENERIC don't double requirements for space, on the contrary, space requirements reduced by reducing new GENERIC. Next step: after install sysincstall/bsdinstall/pc-install may reduce /boot/loader.conf and move some drivers to kld_list.
