In the handbook in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html it says: When you are finished, type the following to compile and install your kernel if you are using FreeBSD prior FreeBSD 4.0 and don't want to upgrade to FreeBSD 4.0 or higher with this step. .... usual config method For FreeBSD 4.x or later (or upgrading from FreeBSD 3.x to FreeBSD 4.x or higher), use the following commands (be sure you have built world before!): .... new make buildworld method Clearly, this is not going to work if the user using a release version of freebsd and has not loaded all the sources (the instructions currently tell him/her to only load the sys portion of the sources). Then the user should use the config method. If you agree with me, I'll send a pr.
