Subject:   ** HEADS UP **  kernel changed to /boot/kernel/kernel.ko

I just committed a change to the loader and kernel Makefiles such that
the kernel is now named "kernel.ko" and it the modules live in
``/boot/kernel'' (and ``/boot/kernel.old'').  After your next world
build, the loader will not load ``/kernel'' by default, so you want to
make sure you build and install a kernel using sources matching the
loader source.

Third party modules (ie, those not part of the base FreeBSD) should be
placed in ``/boot/modules'' (or ``/modules'') and the FreeBSD build
system will not disturb them.
