First, I'd like to thank everyone who helped me get my kernel building 
and answered all my questions. I have really appreciated the help.

I compiled my custom kernel (or so I thought), but 'uname -a' shows it 
compiled with a generic kernel?

FreeBSD alex-laptop 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Dec 24

Whereas in the past, it showed my custom kernel config in the above 
path. I was running i386 before, does that make a difference? Or did I 
miss a step somewhere?

when building and installing, I issued:

'make buildkernel kernconf=ALEX-LAPTOP'
'make installkernel kernconf=ALEX-LAPTOP'

Based on the instructions found in the handbook.


alex at alex-laptop#> cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf
alex at alex-laptop#> ls
ALEX-LAPTOP     DEFAULTS        GENERIC         GENERIC.hints   Makefile 
        NOTES           XENHVM

I'm not quite sure what to expect now.
