If you compile symbols in, use the command "strip --strip-debug kernel". I usually do this after compiling, in the directory /usr/src/sys/compile/ directory. After you strip the kernel, do a make install. If you do this in the root directory, you'll need to change the schg flag to noschg in order to modify the kernel.
