Target /boot was 290MB and root was 6GB . I'm quite sure that they didn't get full
during base system install. Stable 3.0.x kernel releases have some btrfs
fixes, that aren't included in installer kernel (3.0.0-1 is quite old
release). Or maybe it's not btrfs related, but more testing is needed.
I plan to complete this install soon, and don't want to test things too
long.
Some bugreports are made about hybrid CD images (I used that too), it can cause
trouble when installing from USB media.
