Actually, if you remember to hand-hold it the second time when coming
up off the HD, you don't actually *have* to recompile a custom kernel
(though it's always the better thing to do if you want a leaner kernel).
The dset utility in /etc/rc will snapshot the changes you made the second
time back to the kernel image.  Just FYI!
