I am not in favour of putting *that* in UPDATING. Either suggest an
appropriate entry in /boot/loader.conf:
# Make sure that the new kernel gets booted the next time
# you reboot by putting the following line in
# /boot/loader.conf:
kernel="/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE"
Or (and that's what I like more and do) in the section where one
modifies her kernel config file:
# Make sure that the kernel gets installed as /kernel and
# therefore gets loaded at boot time. Put a "kernel" entry
# in your kernel config file, like this:
makeoptions KERNEL=kernel
Just my 0.42 Euro-Cent.
