FreeBSD's version of the config(8) utility is based on 4.3BSD not
4.4BSD. So correct the mentioned paper in the SEE ALSO section.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

This option allows for specifying the directory to use as the location for
kernel source files. This option was ported from NetBSD.

The impact of this bug is that you cannot build a kernel if both of the
following are true:
1) The kernel config file is in a non-default location
2) The kernel config file uses the "include" statement from config(5).
usr.sbin/config/main.c
usr.sbin/config/config.8
usr.sbin/config/config.h
usr.sbin/config/lang.l
Added a "-I path" option to config(8). By analogy to cc(1), it adds
an extra path in which the "include" statement will search for
files.
Makefile.inc1
Pass "-I ${KERNCONFDIR}" to config(8).

- Passing -m to config will now print the MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH
given in the passed kernel configuration file and then exit.
- If an option is defined in options.MACHINE with the same name as the
architecture of the kernel being configured, that option will be
considered set. This allows conditional compilation based on CPU
architecture.
Config version is now 600010.

This change will let us to have full configuration of a running kernel
available in sysctl:
sysctl -b kern.conftxt
The same configuration is also contained within the kernel image. It can be
obtained with:
config -x <kernelfile>
Current functionality lets you to quickly recover kernel configuration, by
simply redirecting output from commands presented above and starting kernel
build procedure. "include" statements are also honored, which means options
and devices from included files are also included.
Please note that comments from configuration files are not preserved by
default. In order to preserve them, you can use -C flag for config(8). This
will bring configuration file and included files literally; however,
redirection to a file no longer works directly.

- redo the "at" configuration system so that it just syntax checks
to make sure the device you're configuring something "at" appears to
exist. Nuke a bunch of complexity that was responsible for creating
"clones" of wildcard devices and some wierd stuff in a few places
including the scbus config tables etc.
- merge "controller" and "device" - there is no difference as far as
the kernel is concernend, it's just something there to make life
difficult for config file writers. "controller" is now an alias for
"device".
- emit full scsi config into the resource tables. We could trivially
change cam to use that rather than it's own "special" table for wiring
and static configuration. ATA could use this too for static wiring.
- try and emulate some of the quirks of the old system where it made
sense. Some were too strange though and I'd be very suprised if they
were features and not outright bugs. nexus handling is still strange.
One thing in particular is that some of the wierd entries in the
newbus devtables is now gone as it was a quirk side effect of the
wildcard/question-mark cloning above.
GENERIC and LINT still build etc.

output of config is exactly as before. Only when an alternate output
directory has been specified will config modify its behavior.
Additional changed:
o Remove the now conflicting and unused NODEV define. It
conflicts with NODEV in sys/param.h.
o Rename the now conflicting MACHINE token to ARCH. It
conflicts with MACHINE in sys/param.h.
o Fix some easy style bugs.
o Fix some easy grammar bugs in the manpage.

Modify targets for debug kernels: when -g was specified, make will
now build a debug kernel called kernel.debug, and create a stripped
version called kernel at the same time. The two targets install and
install.debug are otherwise unchanged.
Requested-by: dillon
Update man page accordingly.
2. Config complains if you use -g:
Debugging is enabled by default, there is no ned to specify the -g option
3. Config warns you if you don't use -s:
Building kernel with full debugging symbols. Do
"config -s BSD" for historic partial symbolic support.
To install the debugging kernel, do make install.debug
(BSD was the name of the config file I used; I print out the same
name).
4. Modify Makefile.i386, Makefile.alpha, Makefile.pc98 and config to
work if a kernel name other than 'kernel' is specified. This is
not absolutely necessary, but useful, and it was relatively easy.
I now have a kernel called /crapshit :-)
5. Modify Makefile.i386, Makefile.alpha, Makefile.pc98 "clean" target
to remove both the debug and normal kernel.
6. Modify all to install the stripped kernel by default and the debug
kernel if you enter "make install.debug".
7. Update version number of Makefiles and config.
