Uh, this seriously isn't documented yet? People, that sucks. What did
you *use to* say about comitting features without documentation??

Kentaro:
Check your destdir, there should be a stand/ subdir. Place its contents
into /stand before booting the new kernel 
(e.g., rooty, cp -pR ${DESTDIR}/stand /). The stand dir used to be
part of the base.tgz set but I think it was recently changed to some
other random set (where it should be really part of kern-XXX.tgz !).
I'll better shut up now, I loathe modules and it begins to show. Good luck.
