  Added files:
    sys/i386/conf        GENERICupgrade 
  Log:
  The aout->elf transition build from a 2.2.5/6/7 system requires that
  a kernel be built and installed at just the right time. If the system
  were to be rebooted after installing the 3.0 binaries without the
  new kernel, the system is hosed.
  
  The addition of this config file reserves the name of the config file
  that the upgrade procedure uses. If an upgrade is to be performed on
  a 2.2.5/6/7 system system for which a GENERIC kernel is inadequate,
  this config file must be replace with a suitable one before performing
  the upgrade.
  
  On systems which report 'uname -r' as 3.0-CURRENT, the kernel build
  is not performed and this file is ignored.
