+When you did <c>emerge system</c>, the sources for the FreeBSD kernel got 
+installed to <path>/usr/src/sys</path>. Configuring and compiling a custom
+kernel is really different from compiling Linux, so if you are not familiar with
+the process we encourage you to have a look at <uri

+chapter 8</uri> of the FreeBSD handbook. 
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Please note that currently only the "Traditional" way of building the kernel is 
+supported on Gentoo/FreeBSD! Also note that <c>make install</c> will probably
+ask you for a <path>/boot/device.hints</path> file. A default version can be
+found in the <path>conf</path> subdirectory of the <c>GENERIC</c> configuration
+and is called <path>GENERIC.hints</path>
