>From what I understood from the Makefiles, "make release" will
always build with the GENERIC kernel configuration. There are
basically two possibilities:

a) overwrite GENERIC with your own configuration, or

b) previously run "make buildkernel KERNCONF=<name>", tar the
   result from /usr/obj, then build the release, and finally
   replace its GENERIC objects with your own ones.

See "man 7 release" for details.
