Author: luigi Date: Tue Jan 13 12:35:33 2009 New Revision: 187144 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/187144 Log: Documentation-only change: - add a reference to the config(5) manpage; - hopefully clarify the format of the 'env FILENAME' directive. I am putting these notes in sys/${arch}/conf/GENERIC and not in sys/conf/NOTES because: 1. i386/GENERIC already had reference to a similar option (hints..) and to documentation (handbook) 2. GENERIC is what most users look at when they have to modify or create a new kernel config, so having the suggestion there is more effective. I am only touching i386 and amd64 because the other GENERIC files are already out of sync, and I am not sure what is the overall plan.
