afterboot.8: Be clearer about exactly when you might need to login as root
afterboot.8: Explain devpubd
afterboot.8: Mention mdnsd
afterboot.8: Use cdn. Don't be arch specific. Requested by leot.
afterboot.8: Correct URL directory order

afterboot.8: uname -p, pointed out by various people
afterboot.8: If it needs a disclaimer that most people shouldn't do it...

-.Sh COMPILING A KERNEL
-Note:
-The standard
-.Nx
-kernel configuration (GENERIC) is suitable for most purposes.
-.Pp
-First, review the system message buffer in
-.Pa /var/run/dmesg.boot
-and by using the
-.Xr dmesg 8
-command to find out information on your system's devices as probed by the
-kernel at boot.
-In particular, note which devices were not configured.
-This information will prove useful when editing kernel configuration files.
-.Pp
-To compile a kernel inside a writable source tree, do the following:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-$ cd /usr/src/sys/arch/SOMEARCH/conf
-$ cp GENERIC SOMEFILE (only the first time)
-$ vi SOMEFILE (adapt to your needs)
-$ config SOMEFILE
-$ cd ../compile/SOMEFILE
-$ make depend
-$ make
-.Ed
-.Pp
-where
-.Ar SOMEARCH
-is the architecture (e.g., i386), and
-.Ar SOMEFILE
-should be a name indicative of a particular configuration (often
-that of the hostname).
-.Pp
-If you are building your kernel again, before you do a
-.Ic make
-you should do a
-.Ic make clean
-after making changes to your kernel options.
-.Pp
-After either of these two methods, you can place the new kernel (called
-.Pa netbsd )
-in
-.Pa /
-(i.e.,
-.Pa /netbsd )
-by issuing
-.Ic make install
-and the system will boot it next time.
-The old kernel is stored as
-.Pa /onetbsd
-so you can boot it in case of failure.
-.Pp
-If you are using toolchain to build your kernel, you will also need to
-build a new set of toolchain binaries.
-You can do it by changing into
-.Pa /usr/src
-and issuing:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-$ cd /usr/src
-$ K=sys/arch/`uname -m`/conf
-$ cp $K/GENERIC $K/SOMEFILE
-$ vi $K/SOMEFILE (adapt to your needs)
-$ ./build.sh tools
-$ ./build.sh kernel=SOMEFILE
