Hi,

I'm having the same problem under a virtual machine. It's VMware 
under Linux, with FBSD 3.1-R. Doing config in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 
always crashes this system. (Well, actually _once_ I was able to 
make a new kernel...) The output from one of the crashes:

  Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
  fault virtual address	= 0x5000400
  fault code		= supervisor write, page not present
  instruction pointer	= 0x8:0xf015a8ce
  stack pointer	        = 0x10:0xf2ed0d9c
  frame pointer	        = 0x10:0xf2ed0d9c
  code segment		= base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                        = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
  processor eflags	= interrupt enabled, IOPL = 0
  current process	= 202 (config)
  interrupt mask	= bio 
  trap number		= 12
  panic: page fault

  syncing disks... 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 giving up
  Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
  Rebooting...

One interesting thing is that the kernel has a misconception about
the processor speed (it's a 300 MHz Celeron):

  Timecounter "i8254"  frequency 1193182 Hz
  CPU: Celeron (1722.67-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x660  Stepping=0
  Features=0x183f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,<b24>>
  
The numbers are not the same on every boot, but they're always quite big.

I'm posting it because it probably can provide some additional 
information to the original post. If it's only a waste of bandwidth
then I'm terribly sorry...
