Starting about a week ago in current, I noticed that when 'make 
install'ing my kernels, it fails on the line

sysctl -w kernel.bootfile=/kernel.old

with the message

sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.bootfile'

If I manually do the install line, it seems to work, but I'm unsure as to 
why this fails.


Any ideas?
