I don't have physical access to the server at the moment to try the loader prompt but...

I tried
mv /boot/kernel /root/
mv /boot/kernel.old /root/
make installkernel

the folder and its files reappear in /boot but a reboot still shows the custom config.

I also tried shutting down the server and powering it back up incase it wasn't actually rebooting --- same result.


the output of make installkernel shows it is installing generic to / boot/kernel cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC; MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj MACHINE_ARCH=amd64 MACHINE=amd64
<snip>
install -p -m 555 -o root -g wheel kernel /boot/kernel

Full output of make (about 2.6MB)

and its more than that. After reinstalling the kernel I still have SMP
support.

What's in /boot/loader.conf ?

Also, verify that the kernel you built is actually in /boot/kernel/ kernel.

Assuming it's there, what happens if you stop the boot at the loader prompt and manually load the kernel you want?
