As stated in the FreeBSD Handbook - Chapter 9 - Section 3 ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html ) First, let us take a quick tour of the kernel build directory. All directories mentioned will be relative to the main /usr/src/sys directory, ... Note: If there is not a /usr/src/sys directory on your system, then the kernel source has not been installed. The easiest way to do this is by running /stand/sysinstall as root, choosing Configure, then Distributions, then src, then sys. ... Next, move to the arch/conf directory and copy the GENERIC configuration file to the name you want to give your kernel. For example: # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL Thus on i386 (intel, amd, cyrix) hardware the base configuration file will be /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC. In the same directory you will find a LINT file that contains all the (mostly nicely commented) options you can possibly set for your kernel. On an alpha system the directory is /usr/src/sys/alpha/conf/.
