Instead of editing the configuration file that was in the /etc/src/sys/i386/conf directory, I was editing the configuration file that I had redirected to a new directory, as indicated by the handbook. I guess I was under the impression (newbie!) that having created a symbolic link somehow allowed me to edit the redirected file. Anyway, once I edited the correct configuration file I was able to go ahead with the compilation and the install. Everything worked perfectly, and the system rebooted without incident---and faster.
