A nice place to read about it: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html The short answer: # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf # cp GENERIC FOOBAR # vi FOOBAR # config FOOBAR # cd ../../compile/FOOBAR # make depend all install # reboot You only have to copy GENERIC to your host specific kernel config file (FOOBAR in the example) the first time of course.
