Actually, GENERIC is there to provide the most features for the most uses. A large percentage of users don't config new kernels, and FreeBSD has not elected the approach Digital Unix (aka "DUH") took about installs which required a reconfig as one of the last steps of an installation. I can't speak to your "required to boot" case- not sure what you're referring to. I also have been sometimes unhappy about things that can't be added for booting, but that's really more of a "need a driver disk or options disk" kind of case that was more during the FreeBSD delivered on floppy which is long ago and far away and a country now pushing up daisies.
