 FreeBSD Source:
 ---------------
 This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
 
 FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms.
 A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years.
 Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.

 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), config(8), [FreeBSD handbook on building userland](https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#makeworld), and [Handbook for kernels](https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig/) for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

 FreeBSD Kernel Source:
 ----------------------
 
 This directory contains the source files and build glue that make up the FreeBSD
 kernel and its modules, including both original and contributed software.
 
+Kernel configuration files are located in the `conf/` subdirectory of each
+architecture. `GENERIC` is the configuration used in release builds. `NOTES`
+contains documentation of all possible entries. `LINT` is a compile-only
+configuration used to maximize build coverage and detect regressions.
