I am in the process of upgrading my system from 3.2-RELEASE to STABLE, and have cvsup'ed the source code. I decided to check out the configuration files for making a custom kernel, and found some differences from 3.2. The perl script for creating a hints file from my old configuration file was great, and its output gives me some idea of what's going on here. I found the line in GENERIC where the hints file is referred to and edited it to the correct name for my configuration. But when I browsed through the perl script, it says I should use loader(8) if at all possible. My problem is I don't find anything in the man page for loader(8) that suggests how to use a hints file with it. The web version of the Handbook doesn't seem to have been updated since ver 3.2, and says nothing I can find about hints. Where can I find out about this?
