024daae6a9 Sigh. Add note about the FILE FIASCO. 
Also notes about FFS_ROOT and CD9660_ROOT and DEVFS cautions.

It is not a good time to live in -current.

1e15924872 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.

f4865386bc The entropy device is no longer an option in the kernel,

degrumpify it, and add pointer to module problem that I had hit with a

52bf24e769 Add a mild warning for people to expect problems in -current after the 
SMPng merge.  Suggest 4.x-stable for a while for those people that are
unable or unwilling to cope with problems.

After 6 hours of use tonight, my gut tells me that we're going to have
lots of problems crop up in the coming weeks.

ba01eb206c o Move to recommending the {build,install}kernel targets for updating from 
older versions of FreeBSD.
o Continue to document the old way of doing it with a warning stating if that
  doesn't work, to do the {build,install}kernel thing.
o minor wordsmithing on what a make world really is.

b8c215accd 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.
