    I'll reply to this message although I got this from three other people
    privately. All pointed me towards /usr/src/UPDATING, and for reference:

    20000621:
         Scott Flatman <sf@aracnet.com> sent in a decent write-up on
         the config file update procedure.
              http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/config-upd.html
         NOTE: LINT is gone. It has been replaced with NOTES. NOTES
         isn't buildable. However, you can generate a LINT file:
         cd /sys/<ARCH>/conf && make LINT

    So I looked in sys/i386/conf/NOTES which, well, had nothing of interest
    in it. Turns out the things I needed are in sys/conf/NOTES since it has
    been split.

    Someone with a commit bit should update the comment in UPDATING to say
    NOTES is now in two parts as well. :)

    Other than that, thanks much, I'm off to be a happy 5.x user now.
