Greetings FreeBSD Team! 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-building.html it appears that this page especially is out of date. It only mentions the requirement of ssys and sbase distribution sets, but much googling (as I run into each problem) suggests that more sets of sources are necessary. I eventually installed them all, because I don't know which are necessary. Another page that could use some help is the description of the configuration file: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.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! -Jaredhelp
