Kernel Building Documentation for 8.1-REL

[J D]

Greetings FreeBSD Team!

I'm having difficulty building and installing a new kernel while following the handbook:

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

it appears that this page especially is out of date.  It only mentions the requirement of ssys and sbase distribution sets, but much googling (as I run into each problem) suggests that more sets of sources are necessary.  I eventually installed them all, because I don't know which are necessary.  Another page that could use some help is the description of the configuration file:

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

as it no longer matches the config file in i386 very closely.

I (and probably many others) would appreciate if these pages were corrected.  Pretty please? :)

Much thanks for all that you do!
