Either suggest an appropriate entry in /boot/loader.conf: # Make sure that the new kernel gets booted the next time # you reboot by putting the following line in # /boot/loader.conf: kernel="/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE" Or (and that's what I like more and do) in the section where one modifies her kernel config file: # Make sure that the kernel gets installed as /kernel and # therefore gets loaded at boot time. Put a "kernel" entry # in your kernel config file, like this: makeoptions KERNEL=kernel Just my 0.42 Euro-Cent.
