Building amd64 kernel problems (missing kernel configuration files)

 Hello,

I am have a fresh install of FreeBSD 8.0 i386 and need to install an amd64
kernel.

I have copied /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC to
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/JERRY

Then, I run "make buildkernel KERNCONF=JERRY" in /usr/src and get the
following error:
ERROR: Missing kernel configuration file(s) (JERRY).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.


It seems to want JERRY to be in i386/conf.  If I copy JERRY to i386/conf and
run "make buildkernel KERNCONF=JERRY", I get the following error:
--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Kernel build for JERRY started on Wed Jun  9 20:50:30 EDT 2010

===> JERRY
mkdir -p /usr/obj/usr/src/sys

/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/JERRY: unknown option "HAMMER"
*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

I know I'm missing something simple, but can't quite figure out what it is.

Thanks,

Jerry
