Read this (and perhaps the whole section first). http://www.uk.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html But in a nutshell, I do grep "not found" /var/run/dmesg.boot | lp cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC MYHOSTNAME vi MYHOSTNAME and, armed with the printout from dmesg.boot I identify all the lines that specify the devices I don't have. That done, quit vi and config MYHOSTNAME cd ../../compile/MYHOSTNAME make depend && amke make install reboot If there's a problem rebooting, you still have /kernel.old and /kernel.GENERIC to boot from.
