Hmm, it does make a rather massive difference..

Is it possible to tell installkernel to put the symbol files elsewhere?
IMO somewhere in /usr would be good - you don't need them to boot (or
crashdump, etc) and they increase the size of the kernel by a factor of 5(!),
eg..
[cain 14:07] /tmp >du -sh kernel
258Mkernel
[cain 14:07] /tmp >rm -
