This talk of KERNELS reminds me of a patchset I've had for quite a while. Currently, 'make buildkernel' builds all the kernels you list in KERNCONF, but installs only one, to /boot/kernel. I've patched my tree so it installs all of them into /boot/${KERN_IDENT}. The reason why I haven't committed this is that I want the loader to present a list of kernels at boot time, and I don't know enough Forth to implement that myself. Ideally, the loader would grep each kernel and display its version string in the menu; and there would be an rc.d script that links /boot/kernel to $(dirname $(sysctl -n kern.bootfile)) so things like zsh's kldload argument completion still work.
