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.

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.
