Change the config line to read:

  config  kernel root on wd1  # <-- wd1

and rebuild the kernel.

You can reboot the original kernel as
  kernel.old or kernel.GENERIC

At the boot prompt, enter

    kernel.GENERIC -cv

and you will come up with the GENERIC kernel in the config mode.

Or, you can enter

    kernel.old

and boot the previously built kernel.

Be careful with the last one, every 'make install' moves kernel to
kernel.old and installs a new kernel.  kernel.GENERIC is never
replaced, unless you do it manually.
