Custom Kernel

[Rem Roberti]

Okay, it turns out that I was editing the wrong file. Instead of editing 
the configuration file that was in the /etc/src/sys/i386/conf directory, 
I was editing the configuration file that I had redirected to a new 
directory, as indicated by the handbook. I guess I was under the 
impression (newbie!) that having created a symbolic link somehow allowed 
me to edit the redirected file. Anyway, once I edited the correct 
configuration file I was able to go ahead with the compilation and the 
install. Everything worked perfectly, and the system rebooted without 
incident---and faster.
