The problem I have with make installkernel is the following:
if my kernel is called XXX, then the name of the new kernel is
/XXX, not /kernel.

So one would have to add the instructions:

cd /
chflags noschg XXX
mv XXX kernel
chflags schg XXX

This seems quite a bit of extra instructions.  Is this what is intended?
