Thanks for your reply, but although I've since then been trying to figure
out what to run config against, I haven't come up with anything. The manual
gives the following:

# cd sys/arch/$ARCH/conf
# vi SOMEFILE (to make any changes you want)
# config SOMEFILE (read more about it here: config(8))
# cd ../compile/SOMEFILE
# make

Since I haven't got the file GENERIC or anything corresponding, I haven't
been able to figure out how to do the configuring and compiling. Could you
please give me a hint? -Thanks-

Johan
