If one does "make buildkernel" as described in the handbook, the warning
 --------------------------------------------------------------
 >>> WARNING: KERNEL= setting should be changed to KERNCONF=
 --------------------------------------------------------------
is printed.

Fix: 

change
    # make buildkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
    # make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
to
    # make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
    # make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
in section 7.3.

Section 7.3 doesn't talk about buildkernel; it's entitled "The MBR,
and Boot Stages One, Two, and Three".  Furthermore, the only place
"KERNEL=" appears in the Handbook is in the paragraph where it is
contrasted with KERNCONF=.

You must be looking at a different document, or at least a very old one.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

The Handbook has long since been updated.  You were looking at an 
outdated version of the document.  Thanks for the submission!
