I'm sure there are many ways that it could be done.  To avoid confusion,
the documentation should be recommending only the simplest way.

I think that 9.3's statement "If you have installed only the kernel source
code, use procedure 1." has been false for > 6 months, according to commit
logs.  I'm attempting to build a kernel w/o a preexisting /usr/obj right
now to double check.

I'll post diffs to the page once I've figured out how to word it best.
