FreeBSD: need to recompile kernel, please help - simple question

I need to recompile kernel with quota support, so ok, I RTFM. FreeBSD: need to recompile kernel, please help - simple question

freebsd_dot_org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html

So the comands I should execute are:

cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERICMODIFIED
make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERICMODIFIED

Now after I read this part I'm a little afraid:

Note: If you have added any new devices (such as sound cards) and you are running FreeBSD 4.X or previous versions, you may have to add some device nodes to your /dev directory before you can use them. For more information, take a look at Making Device Nodes section later on in this chapter.

I'm running FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE, but I'm supposed to have a secondary HD with RAID-1 setup. Is that a device that would 'cause problems or stop functioning?

How should I proceed from here?

Thanks!
