Thankyou for the advice. Unfortunately, it seems that the original shipped
kernel was not compiled with the INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE option as the suggested
'strings -n 3 ...' command returned nothing.
Cheers
Michael

Depends. /sys/i386/conf/LINT:
# This allows you to actually store this configuration file into
# the kernel binary itself, where it may be later read by saying:
# strings -n 3 /kernel | sed -n 's/^___//p' > MYKERNEL
#
options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE # Include this file in kernel
