After doing the above:

--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Kernel build for SQL completed on Wed Nov  9 11:47:15 EST 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------

[1]    Done                          make buildkernel KERNCONF=SQL

..now, I am going to install it. However, this is going to be a great
time for me to get more familiar with diff, and compare source from
previous version to find out what exactly broke.
