I forgot to add that it is FreeBSD 5.3 kernel :)

As yopu can see I haven't "MAXUSERS" or "maxusers" option in MYKERNEL file:
----------------------------------------
-bash-2.05b# pwd
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf
-bash-2.05b# ls -la

-bash-2.05b# grep "maxusers" *
-bash-2.05b# config MYKERNEL
MYKERNEL: unknown option "MAXUSERS"
-bash-2.05b#
----------------------------------------
The same problem I have with GENERIC2 (copy of GENERIC) and GENERIC too:
----------------------------------------
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel   9798 Oct 24 21:02 GENERIC
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel   9798 Feb 18 04:05 GENERIC2
----------------------------------------
-bash-2.05b# config GENERIC2
GENERIC2: unknown option "MAXUSERS"
-bash-2.05b# config GENERIC
GENERIC: unknown option "MAXUSERS"
-bash-2.05b#
----------------------------------------
Even if I tried to add
maxusers 0
or 
MAXUSERS 0
in MYKERNEL it didn't work.

If I try to use second metod:
-----------------------------------------
-bash-2.05b# cd /usr/src
-bash-2.05b# make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
make: don't know how to make buildkernel. Stop
-bash-2.05b#
-----------------------------------------

Any ideas?

Thank you in any case. :)
