Not very surprising.  With just a couple of kernels around, my current
usage on / is way over 50 MB.  And I keep my /tmp files on an md(4) fs.

    gothmog# du -kx / | grep -v '/.*/' | grep '[0-9][0-9]\+'
    2700    /stand
    1628    /etc
    6814    /bin
    28004   /boot
    2946    /root
    21118   /sbin
    63244   /

The largest amount of space is under /boot where exactly 2 kernels are
kept now (kernel and kernel.old, just in case an installkernel goes
very wrong) but /sbin isn't very small either.
