Hmmm ... well, what, exactly, are you typing when you build the kernel? Also, 
are you sure you changed the correct config file (for instance, in the 
handbook it instructs you how to make a symbolic link to a file in another 
location)? If you made a symbolic link and have your original file somewhere 
else, does ls -l /usr/src/sys/i386/conf show the link going to the correct 
file? I know these might sound like silly questions, but I'm not at all sure 
what could be causing this otherwise.
