FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE
>Description:
When installing FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE and selecting the Kern-Developer install, which provides kernel sources in addition to the minimal install, there is no Makefile provided in /usr/src. This prevents recompiling the kernel as per the documentation throughout the FreeBSD website. The recommended procedure for compiling a new kernel is to cd /usr/src and run "make buildkernel or make installkernel". 

Simply adding the Makefile and Makefile.inc from a full-install 5.3-RELEASE machine allows for the kernel to be built and installed. (cd /usr/src && make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO && make installkernel KERNCONF=FOO

Cheers.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE from CD Media, install using standard install "kern-developer" (Installs kernel sources only). 
Once the install is complete, cd /usr/src in order to recompile the kernel.

ls -l Makefile.

>Fix:
Standard install "kern-developer" should add the appropriate Makefile to /usr/src.
