f88a6144b8 Note change of KERNEL to KERNCONF for building instructions. Peter 
changed this due to the undesirable side effects that putting KERNEL
in /etc/make.conf was having on people's lives.  Also update the
instructions as well.

0649307288 Added a dire sounding note about how crypto is required to build the 
system.  Well, not really required if you know what you are doing, but
there's enough people that don't fit into this class that are getting
burned now that we need to say it is required.  The actual message
says that one should treat it as if it was required to try to be
weasilly for the nitpickers amoung us :-)Killed by signal 2.
