device hints issue

[David Bear]

I just completed a cvsup make buildworld, buildkernel cycle for
freebsd 4.10. I cvsup'ed to releng_4_10.  when attempting to 
make installkernel I get the following error:

/i386/usr/games:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
/usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make KERNEL=kernel install
You must set up a /boot/device.hints file first.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC.
*** Error code 1
...
this seems stranges since according the handbook device.hints is a
feature of 5.x. It does not exist in /boot anywhere.  should I touch
/boot/device.hints and just let it go?
