you don't have to manually link it since it is done in rc.sysinit on
the next reboot :

/etc/rc.sysinit (912,930):

# Adjust symlinks as necessary in /boot to keep system services from
# spewing messages about mismatched System maps and so on.
if [ -L /boot/System.map -a -r /boot/System.map-`uname -r` -a \
        ! /boot/System.map -ef /boot/System.map-`uname -r` ] ; then
        ln -s -f System.map-`uname -r` /boot/System.map 2>/dev/null
fi
if [ ! -e /boot/System.map -a -r /boot/System.map-`uname -r` ] ; then
        ln -sf System.map-`uname -r` /boot/System.map 2>/dev/null
fi

# Adjust symlinks as necessary in /boot to have the default config
if [ -L /boot/config -a -r /boot/config-`uname -r` ] ; then
        ln -sf config-`uname -r` /boot/config 2>/dev/null
fi
if [ ! -e /boot/config -a -r /boot/config-`uname -r` ] ; then
        ln -sf config-`uname -r` /boot/config 2>/dev/null
fi
