if that's all you typed then it's incorrect. Try:

ln -s /root/kernels/MOAK /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MOAK

which basically just creates a shortcut to the original file residing in
/root/kernels.

that's fine, though the only time you really should boot into single
user mode is when you doing a install world. Doesn't hurt though.
