Here's what I did:

1.    Install from CD (6.0-RELEASE)
2.    Got latest kernel src with sysinstall
3.    cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
4.    Created my own config file (LAPTOP)
5.    Did a /usr/sbin/config LAPTOP
6.    Moved into compile directory (/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/LAPTOP)
7.    Did 'make depend'
8.    make

At this point it failed...

This machine has run Linux for the past few months compiling various things.
