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/.)
