	[ML]  Yes.  Several, in fact.  I prefer /usr/bin/vi :)

	[ML]  It is not that hard.  Install kernel sources (sys source
package) for your particular version of FreeBSD--I don't know which one
since you did not tell, and my crystal ball is out for repair.

	Once you do that, 

	cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
	cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
	vi MYKERNEL (and edit to taste; use LINT as a list/description
of possible options; use man to find out what devices do--man sio
explains sio, etc)
	config MYKERNEL
	cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
	make depend
	make
	make install
	reboot

	Your Windows slice will be /dev/wd0s4 (slices are 1-based,
IIRC), your modem will be /dev/cuaa0 if it is COM1, the rest should
JustWork(TM).

	Since I don't know what a K6-2 is, I'd keep both 586 and 686 cpu
lines in MYKERNEL

	[ML]  Hey, careful about that--it is not a joke; it is a fact!
If I didn't use my VB4.0 manuals and media to prop up the monitor, I'd
have had such a horrible pain in the neck, and would not have been able
to use, much less to develop on my FreeBSD box.  And, please don't think
I'm the only one to have found use for VB :)
