I've go a couple of questions regarding updating to 5.0. I've cvsuped
using *default  tag=RELENG_5_0. Now its time to do the dirty work. 

1) I see a line in the UPDATING file that says:
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE

should 'YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' be just the name of my kernel (in my case
LORAXKERNEL) or the compete path to that kernel (from uname -a:
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LORAXKERNEL)?


2) is point [8] 'In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4
option in your kernel.  Failure to do so may leave you with a system
that is hard to boot to recover.' only in reference to those who track
CURRENT? I am a little unclear as to the distinction between STABLE and
CURRRENT with this release...

Thanks,

Kirk
