I'm having difficulty building and installing a new kernel while following = the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-buil= ding.html it appears that this page especially is out of date. It only mentions the = requirement of ssys and sbase distribution sets=2C but much googling (as I = run into each problem) suggests that more sets of sources are necessary. I= eventually installed them all=2C because I don't know which are necessary.= Another page that could use some help is the description of the configura= tion file: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-conf= ig.html as it no longer matches the config file in i386 very closely. I (and probably many others) would appreciate if these pages were corrected= . Pretty please? :) Much thanks for all that you do! -Jared =
