config_file.h should contain your config (e.g. GENERIC or MYKERNEL) as a
comment(?) but it may be empty. AFAIK this file isn't created
automatically. Don't ask me why.

AFAIK you did nothing wrong.

Put config_file.h into "/sys/arch/i386/compile/MYKERNEL/".

Do you talk about faith.h? I've just commented out every redefinement in
it. The problem is, at first some there is "#define INET" and later
there's "#define INET 1" which is equal aslong as you use it like "#if
defined(INET)".

Well, you probably have to comment out "options I686_CPU" and maybe
"apm0 at mainbus0" if there are no actual fixes. If you want to use
"option I686_CPU" you have to rebuild gas in
"/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gas.new/". And you SHOULD rebuild userland after
you have booted from current. Don't ask me how, I have no fsck'ing idea.
