Thanks for the great work on the docs, the past few years I have been using RedHat, and it is a nice surprise to be able to go to one document for most of my needs. I did find one discrepancy recently while rebuilding my 4.4 STABLE kernel. According to: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-build ing.html Note: If there is not a /usr/src/sys directory on your system, then the kernel source has not been installed. The easiest way to do this is by running /stand/sysinstall as root, choosing Configure, then Distributions, then src, then sys. If you have an aversion to sysinstall and you have access to an ``official'' FreeBSD CDROM, then you can also install the source from the command line : I found I also had to make sure to sysinstall Configure -> Distributions -> src -> sys -> base, otherwise make doesn't know how to buildkernel. I still ended up with an error that I resolved by just installing all of the src.
