That is what I did after the first build using the original RELEASE sources
and updated using csup.  I blew away /usr/src and cvsupped a fresh RELENG_7
source tree.

Last time I succeeded in building world on another box it took 47 minutes :-)
That's still a long way from years back when RELENG_4 built in 30 minutes
on a machine with an Athlon Tbird 1.2GHz processor.  Double the processor
speed and quadruple the memory and the build takes 50% longer.

[root at maxwell /usr/src/contrib/groff]# mount
/dev/ad4s2a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad4s2h on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s2e on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s2g on /usr/local (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s2d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s2f on /usr/obj (ufs, asynchronous, local, noatime)
[root at maxwell /usr/src/contrib/groff]# 

Not even an NFS mount.  I'm trying to update to FreeBSD-STABLE to use on my
home file server.  At present it has OpenSolaris installed but that OS does
not have the Ethernet driver I need and I want to be able to use 2 Adaptec
29160N HBAs in the system.  But I only have 2 PCI slots and I would like to
remove the Intel NIC and use the system's on-board nfe NIC.

I'll blow away /usr/src and /usr/obj, cvsup the entire RELENG_7 source tree
again and once more attempt to buildworld.  If that fails, Solaris stays on
the server.
