--- Comment #1 from Kurt Lidl <lidl@FreeBSD.org> ---
It's probably obvious, but I'll post a workaround here too -
since the edgerouter pretty much always boots the same
kernel file...

Most people setup the boot command to do something like this:

boot_freebsd=3Dfatload usb 0 $loadaddr kernel/kernel ; bootoctlinux $loadad=
dr
coremask=3D0x3

And then they have the msdos filesystem holding the kernel mounted as
/boot:

The right thing for kern.bootfile ought to be set to
/boot/kernel/kernel, so just do the following:

echo 'kern.bootfile=3D/boot/kernel/kernel' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl kern.bootfile=3D/boot/kernel/kernel

And then 'make installkernel' will do the right thing...
