If you don't have a copy of your previous GENERIC kernel, you can still
get one from the CD.
Here is an example, using a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE CD:

# mount /cdrom
# cd /cdrom/7.0-RELEASE/kernels
# ./install.sh GENERIC

This will install it to /boot/GENERIC and you can copy it to
/boot/kernel if you wish. Or you can use nextboot(8) to boot it once and
see what happens.  Keep in mind that if you have updated your system
(e.g. freebsd-update), this kernel may not be in sync with the rest of
the system.
