You need to make sure you do not compile debug symbols into the kernel.  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/<YourConfigNameHere> 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.
