Good idea, I can then restore back to the GENERIC kernel if I need to. My other problem is that I don't want to lose any options when I build my new kernel. For example, my current kernel is compiled with the IPFIREWALL option. I know this because I am running the firewall. The GENERIC configuration file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf does not include this option. So what else is compiled into my current kernel that is not specified in the GENERIC file?

Just make a copy of which kernel in the aforementioned directory you are running [with a unique/different name, e.g. cp GENERIC GENERIC_original, and do whatever you want with GENERIC knowing that you have a backup that you can rename to GENERIC.
