Let me guess, you have been reading the Handbook and taken the 
instructions *too* literally ;)

MYKERNEL is your kernel configuration file, and you should create it 
yourself by hand, before running the command.
You can start with a copy of GENERIC. Better to keep it in your own 
folder rather than /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. (I assume you use the i386 
version)

Example (as root):

cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
cp GENERIC   /root/MYKERNEL
ln -s /root/MYKERNEL   .

Now edit /root/MYKERNEL and make any changes you wish. Then run your 
make command.
(Note: Typically, you will name it after the machine's hostname rather 
than MYKERNEL)
