Yesterday was my first bad kernel on -CURRENT and I fell back to /boot/kernel.old/kernel and was suprised that it was that old. When did 'make kernel' stop copying /boot/kernel to /boot/kernel.old? It still seems to have that behavior on 5.X. I checked UPDATING but didn't see anything on this behavior change. Nor could I find a knob in make.conf. Is this user error somewhere? -Steve
