	I haven't checked the logs, but I think it would have been more
than a "short" while.
	Consider:

huff@>> du -s /boot/kernel
225008  /boot/kernel
huff@>> du -s /lib
24704   /lib


	(This is on -CURRENT amd64, though I don't think i386 would be
that much smaller.)  Never mind the contents of /etc, /temp,
possibly /root, and anything else that gets defaulted under /; 256
mbytes just don't get it.
