>Description:

If you run config(8) on a kernel configuration file which doesn't
have a scheduler selected then it does *NOT* complain.

Then when you try to do a 'make buildkernel' the make bombs since
there are unresolved functions relating to scheduling.

>How-To-Repeat:

. Create a kernel config file without a scheduler
. Run config(8) it and observe how it does not complain
. 'cd /usr/src; make buildkernel' and observe how it dies

>Fix:

Make config(8) check to see that a scheduler is there.
