IMO

I would change that to
   # make aout-to-elf
shouldn't be a problem
    # cd /sys/boot
    # make depend && make all && make install
Should't be a problem
    # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
Compare your config file with the changes to GENERIC and/or LINT
    # KERNFORMAT=elf;export KERNFORMAT
    # config -r YourKernel
    # cd ../../compile/YourKernel
    # make depend && make && make install
Now I would reboot with a big smile and update all my rc's and /etc en
general.

provecho y saludos
