In "25.2.3.2 Performing the Upgrade" is no link to the previous section "25.2.3.1.1". When you generate the GENERIC kernel following "25.2.3.1.1" and work through "25.2.3.2" the GENERIC kernel is removed as part of the "freebsd-update install" command. "nextboot -k GENERIC" will fail cause GENERIC is removed. >How-To-Repeat: Follow handbook "25.2.3.1.1" and then "25.2.3.2" >Fix: GENERIC kernel must be build after the first "freebsd-update install" command. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
