Well, it is telling you that it doesn't like the "options PNPBIOS". That 
is an option for 4.x. For right now, I would just comment it out.

BTW, booting to single user mode to build the kernel doesn't help. You 
want to do that when you do the installworld. Part of the reason for 
booting to single user mode is to test the new kernel and you haven't 
installed it at this point.
