If the changes are trivial (i.e. just an extra printf() call, as
suggested above) you might even get away with something faster:
# cd /usr/src
# make -DNOCLEAN buildkernel
or even, by directly using "make" in the object directory, i.e.:
# cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SOLERO
# make && make install
Before you start taking such shortcuts though, you should definitely get
acquainted with the build process of FreeBSD. The Handbook contains an
entire chapter on building and installing from the sources. Please read
it carefully. As many times as it takes...
