Greetings and salutations

I wanted to set up my FreeBSD 4.7 box as a gateway for my other computer.
this required installing
an ISDN card, which I did and then I tried to recompile my kernel to enable
isdn4bsd support.

everything went fine till the final part "make install" which produces this:

install -m 555 -o root -g wheel -fschg  kernel /kernel

/: write failed, file system is full
install: /kernel: No space left on device
*** Error code 71

Stop in /sys/compile/ISDN4BSD.

great. so I tried df, here's what it says:

Filesystem  1K-blocks   Used      Avail     Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a    128990   125886   -7214      106%       /
/dev/ad0s1f    257998    10          237350     0%          /tmp
/dev/ad0s1g   8779334  849508  7227480    11%       /usr
/dev/ad0s1e    257998   4586      232774      2%         /var
procfs              4            4             0              100%
/proc

before compiling the kernel "/" capacity was at 75%. What happened when I
compiled,
how did it get filled up? can I encrase the syze of the root mount point?
what should I do?
any advice will be greatly appriciated
