In src/UPDATING, you can find:
20000825:
/boot/device.hints is now required for installkernel to
succeed. You should copy GENERIC.hints for your architecture
into /boot/device.hints. If and only if you compile hints
into your kernel, then this file may be empty. Please note,
if you have an empty or missing /boot/device.hints file and
you neglected to compile hints into your kernel, no boot
messages will appear after the boot loader tries to start the
kernel.
I think 5-current user *must* read src/UPDATING before doing
anything. Is it not sufficient description for you? If not, what's
missing?
