Change this to 'sym0' and it will shut up config(8). It should have worked
anyway, this is a config(8) warning only. When the kernel boots it will
look up the strings you have supplied and will use 'sym0' regardless of
what config said.
This used to be just a warning, but people started using config(8) in
automated scripts (such as make buildkernel) which effectively hid the
messages. There was no difference between "not really a problem" error
messages like this or more serious ones. config relied on a human to judge
if it was serious or not. 'make buildkernel' was igoring it totally and
stopping humans from seeing it at all by scrolling the results off the
screen in a fraction of a second.
