Subject: ISSUE : Kernel configuration file from built kernel

Is there any way to extract a kernel configuration file
from a built kernel.

- I installed FreeBSD 2.2.7 without the sys source.
- I then needed to rebuild my kernel for PPP changes.
- I then installed the sys distribution and rebuilt a copy
  of the kernel configuration file provided by the
  distribution.
- I rebooted and found that I had "lost" my old configuration
  as MANY things (eg. ping localhost) would not work.
- I panicked!!!

I have now booted of my /kernel.old image.

There is a /kernel.config file which is alas empty.

Thanks in advance
