Hi Ben!
It could be that .. will try as soon as I can .. I didn't try before because
most examples I found on google use it like that .. even the FreeBSD
handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html(take
a look at the second "tip" in point 8.5).

Thanks for your advise Ben !
