Marcel Moolenaar ea16741fc0 The boot manager sets the watchdog timer to 5 minutes before invoking
a boot option. When the timer expires the machine is rebooted.
Disable the watchdog timer for 2 reasons:
o  We're an interactive program. We cannot guarantee that we've
   booted the kernel in the time available to us. There have been
   situations where netbooting the right kernel took 2 tries and
   more time than given. Not to speak of the normal behaviour to
   have the loader sitting at the prompt while the user is off
   doing other things (such as figuring out what to type next ;-)
o  We may not boot a kernel at all. We may exit as the result of
   the user typing quit (assuming it took less than 5 minutes to
   type it :-). It is documented that loaders should have disabled
   the watchdog timer if they return to the boot manager. Not doing
   so would cause a reboot while in the boot manager. This appears
   to be harmless, besides of course the actual reboot.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
