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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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.
