Maybe you have a netbook for work(simple tasks) , ssh to servers,switchs..etc
in my case, intel atom with 2GB of ram
and compile world and kernel is a hard task, the i386 support will be droped in 15 release I think..but meanwile

In FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE :

*Edit
/etc/src.conf
to your needs

*Move to
Code: 
/usr/src

*Copy the kernel conf file and edit the GENERIC
Code: 
cp sys/i386/conf/GENERIC sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.back

*Edit
sys/i386/conf/GENERIC

*Next buildworld and kernel

Code: 
make -j[number of cores] buildworld  TARGET=i386
make -j[number of cores] buildkernel TARGET=i386

*When finish
Diff: 
cd release
make obj
make release TARGET=i386
make install DESTDIR=(folder to copy the images iso,img,etc)

and that is all , in the final directory now you have the images for instalation

forget..the kernel source filename can parsed to buildkernel but this if only for the example

You really should create a new kernel file (ex. NEWKERNEL), include GENERIC, then modify the knobs you need / want in that.

thanks for the opinion...but obviously you dont read

Mister Tingo knows exactly what he is talking about. Take a look at some of the other kernconfs for the giant clue bat.

And I know howto compile kernel securely
this post is not for newbies, I asume that the person who read, knows how to tune their src.conf and the kernel conf file
