:Hi Everyone,
:I made some changes to the kernel, used the buildkernel and installkernel
:command, all went good but after booting the customized kernel it just
:freezes.
:Although, I havent made changes to the configuration files it checks while
:loading, It freezes during the loading of devices from
:/etc/defaults/devfs.conf.
:I am running the system in VMWare, so I thought it will take a long time but
:still cant figure it out.

What kernel rev is it? It would be about the 5th line down on the
console while it is booting e.g.:
DragonFly v2.7.3.833.g766a6-DEVELOPMENT #120: Wed Sep 1 11:07:48 PDT 2010
^^^^^ this is the commit id.
It is possible you caught the kernel in a bad state, we're going to be
a bit unstable this week. But right now at this moment it should be
stable.
Another possibility is that your world & kernel are out of sync with
each other. That isn't supposed to cause a crash or lockup but it
is a possibility.
