I have configured a custom kernel using
#/usr/sbin/config COMPAQ486POWERKERNEL
# cd ../../compile/COMPAQ486POWERKERNEL
#make depend
#make
#make install

rebooted....the boot did not recognize my new kernel at boot stage 2 and boot couldn't find kernel or kernel.old
Tried "boot COMPAQ486POWERKERNEL" and it couldn't find the kernel
I went with "boot kernel.prev" and that still works so I went in and manually copied COMPAQ486POWERKERNEL to /kernel.  Rebooted, same story.  "boot kernel.prev" still worked.  couldn't find kernel or kernel.old.

I have also copied /boot/defaults/loader.conf to /boot/loader.rc and tried to change this to recognize the new kernel to no avail.  I am convinced that this is not being read as I have changed the default countdown to 6 seconds and this is not being recognized.

I was interested in changing the kernel to gain more speed with KDE.

Any suggestions?
