Hija. 

I'm a newbie to freeBSD, and come from a win32-programmer background. No
need to tell me windows sucks ;-P

Anyway.. I'm trying to build a kernel, for which I got the source-files
using cvs. This was done by a friend of mine. 

I editted the kernel-config file myself (see bottom of mail), and tried
compiling the kernel as described in the handbook. It compiled just fine,
but when booting it comes up with 

elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed

Here, i'm lost ;-)

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? (any other tips you have on
this kernel config are also appreciated).
