There should be some hints in the FAQ (section 6 or so). Go to /usr/src/i386/conf cp GENERIC MYKERNEL vi MYKERNEL config MYKERNEL cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL make all make install The old kernel will be placed at /kernel.old , so if something goes wrong, you can type "/kernel.old" (or "/kernel.GENERIC") at the boot prompt.
