Yeah real swift I know. So naturally it panics when using this custom kernel. I would like to boot the GENERIC kernel. The instructions I have from the handbook say to get to the loader prompt and type unload then boot /kernel/kernel.GENERIC . I do this but the loader says it can't find it. What am I doing wrong?
