>Description:
While updating 4.1-RELEASE to -current according to '/usr/src/UPDATING',
I got following message in 'make installkernel ...':
  You must activate /boot/device.hints in loader.conf.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Updaters should type '/usr/src/sys/boot; make install' before installkernel
rather than previous 'cp src/sys/${MACHINE_ARCH}/GENERIC.hints /boot/device.hints'
command, I think.

 In src/UPDATING, you can find:
 
 20000825:
         /boot/device.hints is now required for installkernel to
         succeed.  You should copy GENERIC.hints for your architecture
         into /boot/device.hints.  If and only if you compile hints
         into your kernel, then this file may be empty.  Please note,
         if you have an empty or missing /boot/device.hints file and
         you neglected to compile hints into your kernel, no boot
         messages will appear after the boot loader tries to start the
         kernel.
 
 I think 5-current user *must* read src/UPDATING before doing
 anything.  Is it not sufficient description for you?  If not, what's
 missing?

 I don't have the exact environment now, but I'm afraid I was looking
 old "src/UPDATING" at that time.  In "src/UPDATING" of revision 
 1.108(changed at Tue Aug 29 06:35:46 2000 UTC), this probrem was
 already fixed.
 
 Best regards,
