That is normal. Those are the output files from the script. Maybe 
reading nanobsd.sh would help you out. Also, I doubt you have a MYKERNEL 
kernel conf file. Tailing _.bk is the buildkernel step, and _.ik is the 
installkernel step. If you are not familiar with configuring BSD 
kernels, check out 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

Also, this is what my successful build tree looks like

Hopefully that helps.
