>Description:
The src/UPDATING document contains this paragraph:

        To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
	--------------------------------------------------------------
	cd src/sys/{i386,alpha}/conf
	config KERNEL_NAME_HERE			[1]
	cd ../../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
	make depend
	make
	make install	
	
	[1] If in doubt, -r might help here.

This note confuses me, as I can't find a -r option
for config.



>How-To-Repeat:
Look at src/UPDATING

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/UPDATING?rev=1.187&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

compare with source

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/config/main.c?rev=1.54&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

  int
  main(int argc, char **argv)
  {
    /* .. */
	while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "d:gp")) != -1)
		switch (ch) {
		case 'd':
			if (*destdir == '\0')
				strlcpy(destdir, optarg, sizeof(destdir));
			else
				errx(2, "directory already set");
			break;
		case 'g':
			debugging++;
			break;
		case 'p':
			profiling++;
			break;
		case '?':
		default:
			usage();
		}
	argc -= optind;
    /* .. */
  }

I can't spot it. 

>Fix:
Was perhaps "-d" meant?

Happy new year to all BSDers!
