Although I wouldn't recommend it "in general", for your case I would
make sure everything you need is configured into the kernel you build
(so it doesn't need any loadable modules) and then:

   cd /usr/src/sys/<arch>/compile/GENERIC
   mkdir /boot/kernel.new
   cp kernel /boot/kernel.new

so that you can boot the new one and see it work before deleting the
old one.

Just a suggestion, rick
