+FreeBSD Source:
+---------------
+This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file
+was last revised on:
+$FreeBSD$
+
+For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
+directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
+sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
+more information).
+
+The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
+building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7)
+and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
+for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
+
+The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install
+the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
+the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
+standard build targets and compile-time flags.
+
+Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8),
+and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
+for more information.
+
+Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
+`buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build
+world before. More information is available in the handbook.
+
+The kernel configuration files reside in the `sys/<arch>/conf`
+sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
+NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
+devices, not just those commonly used.
