I assume you mean 'make installkernel' there.

At this point, I think you first have to reboot to your previous
kernel. To do that, reboot again. Press the space bar (or
something other than enter) so you get into the boot-loader.
If you have the newer boot-screen, there is a menu option
which will get you into the boot loader.
Once you are in the boot-loader, type:
unload
load /boot/kernel.old/kernel
boot
That should get you up on the old kernel. Assuming that works,
the first thing you should do is:
cd /boot
mv kernel kernel-BAD
mv kernel.old kernel
