This is equivalent to the real old way: (start with good /kernel) cd /usr/src/sys/compile/FOO make depend make make install (/kernel is bad, /kernel.old is good) cd /usr/src/sys/compile/FOO make depend make make install (/kernel is bad, /kernel.old is bad) The "old" way you refer to was very shortlived. If you want to recreate that experience, use 'makeoptions KERNEL=GENERIC' in your kernel files (after I commit the change that fixes it).
