Is that true ? What is the correct sequence than ?

I had about the same problem about two weeks ago
(did not have time to get back to it since) -
First: Installation from the the CD-ROM:
2.2.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE #0: Tue May 20 10:45:24 GMT 1997     jkh@tim
e.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

Then I took the source tree and cvsup-ed the changes.

Compiled kernel (generic one) did not want to boot
and every time was stuck at the message "starting network, hostname.."
(or something like that)
