That is one 'really bold' step. I doubt whether LINT would compile and even
if it does it is NOT RECOMMENDED!!

cp /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC mykernel

Depends on what you wanna do

I have given you the answers. Make these changes in myekernel, derived from GENERIC
and try building this. At the moment I hope you can boot kernel.old
