Hi!

I am _not_ an expert with the FBSD config files, but:

the list of error you presented suggests that the various if.c, if_ether.c, ...
expected some extern(al) variable or function somewhere in another 
.c or .h file which was not included. I noticed that you had changed very 
little in your /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file. I would suggest to start over
with the original GENERIC file, copy it to /sys/i386/conf/MYKERNELNAME, then
remove all devices which you don't need, taking care that you don't accidently
remove such "meta"devices like the general sound driver (upon which most
other sound drivers are built) - and try again.

Maybe this helps.

greetings,
Leon Aaron Kaplan.
