From the errata for 3.1 (although this should be fixed in 3.2):
o Kernel change information is not saved in the new kernel, even
though this is claimed to work in the docs.
Fix: The change information is being written out, in fact,
but to the wrong location. move /kernel.config to
/boot/kernel.conf (if it exists, otherwise there were no
changes to save) and add the following lines to /boot/loader.rc:
load /kernel
load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf
autoboot 5
This will cause the kernel change information to be read in and
used properly (and you just learned a little about the new 3-stage
loader in the process, so the exercise wasn't a total loss).
