Update:
I tried again and freebsd-update always updates my custom kernl in /boot/ke=
rnel/
although I copied generic kernel to /boot/GENERIC/.

This happens both when applying security patches (e.g. 10.0 to 10.0-p12)
and when I upgrade from 10.0-RELEASE to 10.1-RELASE.

Is this a problem with freebsd-update?

BR,
Marko
