Thank you.
I commented out above two lines from /etc/make.conf and did
build/installkernel, build/installworld again (a little
superfluous maybe).  So, the loader and the kernel must be built
with default options.

The result was same. Loading new kernel with the new loader reboots the
machine.

The CPU is an athlon (CPU lines from dmesg were as follows).
I do not remember what was the chipset now;

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1600+ (1403.19-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "AuthenticAMD"  Id = 0x662  Stepping = 2
