In your /sys/compile/FOOBAR directory (where FOOBAR is the name of your
kernel), just type "make install".
This will change the flags on /kernel before moving it to /kernel.old
then copy kernel to /kernel and reprotect it.
FYI, 4.4BSDish systems have additional file attributes called "flags".
RTFM: chflags(1), ls(1).
Hint: the flag attributes are displayed with the -o option to ls -l.
Thus, ls -lo /kernel gives:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel schg 740019 Mar 29 09:41 /kernel

\____ This is the file flags.
