25The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf
26sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
27file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
28kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
29devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient
30LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
31pure reference and documentation file.
