As Kris has already told you, there is no such command as `chattr' in
FreeBSD.

Ah!  Now we're (maybe) getting somewhere - the file NEWKERN is simply a text
file - it contains configuration parameters for building a kernel.  It is
not in and of itself executable.  If you set the execute bit and try to run
it, your shell will spew out loads of `command not found' errors.

Read these chapters in the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html

The first is useful if you are just trying to build a new kernel.  If you
are trying to update the whole system, read the latter.

HTH,

Dan
