This might fix most of your problems...  However, it still comes very
handy being able to interpret simple errors (like the missing
bsd.kern.mk) yourself.  OTOH, the freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing
list is a good place to get knowledge about handling -current systems.

-current is the bleeding edge, and you are a little expected to also
do your homework then.
