The move is only > made if the currently running kernel came from /boot/kernel/. AFAIK, the move is made everytime "installkernel" runs. You can verify this by: a) Copy /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel.saved.old and /boot/kernel to /boot/kernel.saved # cd /boot # cp -Rp kernel.old kernel.saved.old # cp -Rp kernel kernel.saved Then go through a few "installkernel" runs and watch the /boot/kernel and /boot/kernel.old directories.
