Everyone: Just ran freebsd-update (fetch, then install) on a system on which I run a customized kernel, and discovered that it has overwritten my custom kernel... even though I'd copied the original to /boot/GENERIC when I first installed the system. I was under the impression that creating /boot/GENERIC, and putting the GENERIC kernel in it, would cause freebsd-update to update that directory rather than one's custom kernel. I now must rebuild the kernel to keep the machine working. What went wrong, and how do stop it from recurring? --Brett Glass
