The information in our handbook should be 99% applicable to FreeBSD
5.1-Beta.  If you see a significant difference between the information
located here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

and your environment, please let us know and we will fix ASAP!

If you need help on a specific problem, (hardware or otherwise) you can
always email questions@FreeBSD.org, or check the appropriate handbook
chapter/section.

Thanks,
