Thank you for your help but i wasn't able do compile my kernel. The only subdirectory in the /usr/src directory is sys. When I try "cd /usr/sys" "make buildkernel KERNCONF=KERNELNAME" or "make buildkernel KERNEL=KERNELNAME" there's an error: "Don't know how to make buildkernel." The description in the handbook doesn't help me much because I'm new to FreeBSD and do not understand how to "make the world" etc. What do I have to do when I just have installed the 4.3release with /bin and /src/sys and want to compile a kernel?
