Updating BSD from recollection seems to have not been the best
option, this time.

After navigating to /usr/src/kernels I ran 'ln -s /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf'
and here is the output:
!--
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf: Too many levels of symbolic links.

Running 'chmod 0751 conf' from /usr/src/sys/amd64 does not fix it.
What have I forgotten?
