Question Irrelevant remarks, etc.

[irrelevant human primate crap]
May I decide what I want to do with FreeBSD and how I want to use it? Thank you. I drown in compilation error output, so how would I know what you in particular find relevant?
[/irrelevant human primate crap]

I already found out about AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 (I have no AR5416 though). The kernel compiles fine now but hangs half way through the booting process.
