That in itself is not a problem for me; the existing disk is plenty big
enough to be a boot device, and once the kernel is up it can put as
much other stuff elsewhere as it wants.

I suspect what I'll end up doing in the short term is moving /usr/src
to an external disk.  (There was someone who offered to send me a 1G
drive or two, but retracted the offer upon discovering that I commit
the "crime" (his word) of rejecting mail from hosts with
generic-looking reverse DNS....)
