Ok, so you've made your kernel config file.  type "config MYKERNEL" (or
whatever your kernel filename is), and it'll make a directory
../../sys/compile, or something like that (it'll tell you where), and just 
go there, type "make depend", then "make", and then "make install", if
everything goes well.

Then reboot.  If things don't work, there'll be a backup copy of your old
kernel - kernel.old, kept there, which you can choose when you boot up.

This is all explained in the handbook, look for the section on making custom
kernels, etc. (it's in /usr/share/doc/handbook, you can use lynx to view it,
else you can look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/.)
