You should have also read UPDATING. Please start a habit of checking
this document if you are going to run -current.
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.
