The solution to this can be found in the errata for 3.1: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.1R/errata.html Here 'tis: o Kernel change information is not saved in the new kernel, even though this is claimed to work in the docs. Fix: The change information is being written out, in fact, but to the wrong location. move /kernel.config to /boot/kernel.conf (if it exists, otherwise there were no changes to save) and add the following lines to /boot/loader.rc: load /kernel load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf autoboot 5 This will cause the kernel change information to be read in and used properly (and you just learned a little about the new 3-stage loader in the process, so the exercise wasn't a total loss).
