The resultant kernel file is 192 bytes smaller than kernel.GENERIC. Will someone provide a copy or diff -c of the GENERIC file used to construct kernel.GENERIC? This is significant because when I construct a bootable CDROM, following the instructions at: http://www.bsdtoday.com/2002/March/Features646.html the kernel I compile from the GENERIC kernel configuration file causes a spontaneous system restart when the loader passes the boot process to the kernel (the copyright information does not display). However when I copy kernel.GENERIC to kernel, the bootable CDROM works with the caveat that I must supply the rootdev of acd0c in loader.conf or interactively in the absence of loader.conf.
