"Make depend" worked. Now following the same steps outlined in the
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/, I do "make" (after make depend) then I do a
"make install".

Strangely, I get this error: 
"You must first build your kernel before trying to install.      *** Error
code 1"

Frustrating as it is, I am lost. I quit trying to manually make the kernel, so
I rebooted from the cdrom, and tried both the kernel configuration in full-
screen visual mode then in CLI mode. Once setting the devices correctly I quit
and save, then the machine becomes Idle with no HDD activity whatsoever (in
both modes might I add). 

Any ideas?
