Hi,

I have recently installed FreeBSD for the first time. I was able to successfully
reconfigure the kernel, but only after several failed attempts. The reason
I was having a problem was that in the section that describes how to
compile the kernel, a line is apparently missing:

	make depend

which should come immeditately after cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL.

I noticed that config reminds you to execute make depend. It wouldn't hurt
to insert some text to let the user know that the message from config
is normal.

Thanks,

Dan.
