I find this really weird... but then again I dunno too much about FreeBSD
to know if this is unusual.

1.)  I recompiled my kernel successfully... BUT when I am at the console
the screen freezes on, "Booting [kernel]..."  that thing stops spinning
and I can't do anything.

BUT...

I can still SSH into the machine from my other machines using PuTTY...
it's as if everything is okay.

2.)  I've noticed alot of *.ko files in my "/" directory

as a matter of fact here are the names:

I dunno why they are here... or if they are supposed to be there.  Does
this have anything to do with the problems I have with the console?

I've included a copy of my kernel file... maybe someone can look at it and
tell me what i'm doing wrong?
