Thanks, I know that's the procedure in 3.x, and in Greg Lehey's
book, but the online handbook that comes with 4.1 seems to 
have a different procedure, namely,

    cp GENERIC FOO
    ...then configure FOO however I want...
    cd /usr/src
    make buildkernel KERNEL=GENERIC 2>&1 >/tmp/make.log

I'm confused.  Will the old procedure work?
