Hi Glen -

You're absolutely right, of course. I meant to say handbook rather than
manpage.

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html

>From section 24.2.2:

<quote>
Only the GENERIC kernel can be automatically updated by freebsd-update. If a
custom kernel is installed, it will have to be rebuilt and reinstalled after
freebsd-update finishes installing the updates. However, freebsd-update will
detect and update the GENERIC kernel if /boot/GENERIC exists, even if it is not
the current running kernel of the system.

Sorry for the confusion!
