Mmm, the compile a new kernel in other machine is dificult if they no is a
FreeBSD 5.0, but you can prove to compile in a other machine with a 4.7
release.

To create a floppy with the new kernel:
sico#: vnconfig /dev/vn0c /path/to/kern.flp
sico#: mount /dev/vn0c /mnt
sico#: rm /mnt/kernel.gz
sico#: gzip -9 /sys/compile/YOUR_KERNEL/kernel
sico#: cp /sys/compile/YOUR_KERNEL/kernel.gz /mnt
sico#: umount /mnt
sico#: dd if=/path/to/kern.flp of=/dev/fd0

and only need start the instalation with the new kern floppy, if all it's
correct, the sysinstall run, don't hang the machine.

chance.

Best regards.
