A follow-up to my last email.  I copied GENERIC to RADIUS2 and symlinked to /root/kernel.  Then added the various LINT options.

I started commenting out what is failing when I try to compile a new kernel.  All are from the LINT file.  Is MD5 a default that does not need to be specifically added?  What about ICMP_BANDLIM?  And support for IDE drives. Are these already handed elsewhere in GENERIC?

# These all failed as unknown options:
unknown option "MD5"
unknown option "LKM"
unknown option "CD9660_ROOTDELAY"
unknown option "NSWAPDEV"
unknown option "TCP_COMPAT_42"
unknown option "ICMP_BANDLIM"  (found in Handbook in Chapter 14 Securing FreeBSD)


# Do not understand why these are fialing
config: Error: device "acd0" is unknown
config: Error: device "wfd0" is unknown
config: Error: device "wst0" is unknown

# This failed as a syntax error
controller      wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14
