You're not following the directions in the handbook.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html

The short version is that you should use "make buildkernel" to build
your kernel, but you're probably missing several other steps as well,
so I'd recommend reading the official documentation.  The article
you're following describes a procedure that will work most of the
time, but not (as you've seen) all of the time.

Good luck.
