INCORRECT.
You wre building in the /usr/src/sys/amd64 tree. See line 3 in the text
below.
Quoting 'lost context' from your original message
|| >>> stage 1: configuring the kernel
|| -------------------------------------------------------------
|| cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf;
|| PATH=/usr/obj/nanobsd.TS5700//usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/nanobsd.
|| TS5700//usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/bin:/usr/obj/nanobsd.TS5700//usr/src/tmp/leg
|| acy/usr/games:/usr/obj/nanobsd.TS5700//usr/src/tmp/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/nanobs
|| d.TS5700//usr/src/tmp/usr/bin:/usr/obj/nanobsd.TS5700//usr/src/tmp/usr/game
|| s:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
|| config -d /usr/obj/nanobsd.TS5700//usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL
|| /usr/home/tomdean/nanoBSD/MYKERNEL
|| /usr/home/tomdean/nanoBSD/MYKERNEL: unknown option "I486_CPU"
And, "of course" the i486 cpu is not recognized in a '64-bit' build, since
it doesn't have the 64-bit istrution set.
An 'i386' kernel config is *NOT* necessarily valid for building on 'amd64'.
(There are numerous config choices in i386 that are not in amd64 at all, and
others that are just 'diferent'. To make up for it, amd64 has some that are
not recognized in i386, either.)
Vetting with a 'trained eyeball -is- required to make things work when you
change between i386 and amd64 -- in either diretion. [voice of first-hand
experience speaking.]
