# cp /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC

found already there

Added
device          atapicam
to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC

Now coming to rebuilding the kernel I am very
cautionous avoiding the OS can't start after reboot. 
I shall do following steps;

# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make KERNCONF=GENERIC buildkernel
# make KERNCONF=GENERIC installkernel
# reboot

Please advise.  TIA
