>Originator:     Makoto MATSUSHITA
>Release:        FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
Japan FreeBSD Users' Group
>Environment:

	5.0-CURRENT, after kernel location was changed from / to /boot/kernel

>Description:

	Default kernel location was changed from /kernel to
	/boot/kernel/kernel, but sysinstall doesn't know about this.
	If you installed 5.0-CURRENT to a fresh PC and reboot, you
	should see "can't load kernel" message.

>How-To-Repeat:

	- Prepare Fresh PC
	- Install 5.0-CURRENT via your favorite media (CD, ftp, etc)
	- reboot

>Fix:
	
	installFixupBin() in src/release/sysinstall/install.c should
	consider new default kernel path.

	Moreover, /kernel.GENERIC shouldn't be there. Maybe
	/boot/kernel is prefered. We can modify 'release.3' target of
	src/release/Makefile to do that.

	Sorry, no patch is made... but it is easy to hack.

State-Changed-Why:  
I thought there would be more contraversy to play out over 
the move to /boot/kernel, but evidently not so I'll fix 
it now.  :)  Thanks for the report.
