The how-to is out of date. Use "config" instead of "config.new". At one
time, all the ports were using slowly switching from one form of
config to another. When just a few ports had switched, there was
"config" and "config.new". A while ago (before I got involved),
the names switched to "config.old" and "config". Recently, "config.old"
disapeared.

Make sure the version of config you use matches the kernel source. If
you are compiling a -current kernel, use the -current version of
config. That's why the sys.tar.gz file contains both the kernel
source and the config source. Also, make recently changed, so if you
have 1.2 binaries and want to compile a -current kernel, you need a
newer "make" binary. I don't know if any of the snapshots have the new
make or not.

Take care,
