Hi, You can try comconsole-0.1, this pakage it does what you want its in the ports collection /usr/ports/sysutils/comconsole. For your kernel, I think that you grabed the LINT file and customized as you wanted, but I believe that you should copy the GENERIC file, add the lines you need, and remove the others you dont. I hope this helps...
