A lot of things have changed, so I would really urge you to start out
by making a copy from GENERIC and make your kernel from that.

GEOM is as you write the default in the kernel now, so you do not need
any special options for it.  If you want to make your computer understand
Apple partition tables however, you should add the option GEOM_APPLE.
