Refer to Chapter 9, "Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel" in the FreeBSD Handbook for specific instructions. I believe that if you use the "new" way (make buildkernel, make installkernel) and don't specify the KERNCONF, it will default to GENERIC. I am not 100% sure about that though, it is just a guess. Can anyone confirm/deny? Personally, I always use the "old" way (/usr/sbin/config, make depend, make, make install), mainly because it's a habit. Hope this helps.
