--- Comment #4 from freebsd@dreamchaser.org ---
(In reply to Tom Rhodes from comment #3)
We may be getting off the original problem here.
The original problem is that the manpage references /boot/GENERIC as a kernel,
and that file does not exist anymore.  So that's the main thing that needs to
be fixed.

Assuming that part is fixed, then yes, it would be good to say something about
how one can tell if the installed kernel, /boot/kernel/kernel, is a GENERIC
one, given that freebsd-update only works with GENERIC kernels.  As you point
out, that's pretty easy with uname.  If it's possible to find out about kernels
other than the installed one, that might be useful as well.  I don't have a
clue how to do that.
