I'm currently running 10.0 and I wanted to update to 10.1 using freebsd-update. I've been following the guide on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html I have a custom kernel and I don't seem to have anything at /boot/GENERIC # ls /boot/GENERIC ls: /boot/GENERIC: No such file or directory so I followed the instructions when running 9.x and above and ran: # cd /usr/src # make kernel __MAKE_CONF=/dev/null SRCCONF=/dev/null This seem to create and install the GENERIC kernel as advertised, but there still isn't anything in /boot/GENERIC # ls /boot/GENERIC ls: /boot/GENERIC: No such file or directory I then ran: # freebsd-update -r 10.1-RELEASE upgrade # freebsd-update install # nextboot -k GENERIC Error: /boot/GENERIC doesn't exist. Use -f to override. The handbook indicates that it's pretty important to have GENERIC there before I reboot and finish the update. Is there something I missed? Can somebody help with this? Thanks
