As stated in the FreeBSD Handbook - Chapter 9 - Section 3 ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html )

   First, let us take a quick tour of the kernel build directory. All
   directories mentioned will be relative to the main /usr/src/sys directory, 
   ...
   Note: If there is not a /usr/src/sys directory on your system, then the 
   kernel source has not been installed. The easiest way to do this is by 
   running /stand/sysinstall as root, choosing Configure, then Distributions, 
   then src, then sys.
   ...
   Next, move to the arch/conf directory and copy the GENERIC configuration 
   file to the name you want to give your kernel. For example:
     # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
     # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL


Thus on i386 (intel, amd, cyrix) hardware the base configuration file will be 
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC. In the same directory you will find a LINT file 
that contains all the (mostly nicely commented) options you can possibly set 
for your kernel. On an alpha system the directory is /usr/src/sys/alpha/conf/.

HTH,
Ben                            mailto:benwilliams@instantemail.net
