I am still having problems with FreeBSD recognizing my AWE64
sound card, but anyway, to the issue:

I have two kernels in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf...GENERIC and ENIGMA

where ENIGMA is my customized kernel. B/C of the soundcard issue,
I am still recompiling my kernel, rebooting my machine, and 
seeing if it's recognized.

When I am compiling ENIGMA (make depend, make, make install), 
and have problems, I immediately do a make depend, make, make 
install of the GENERIC kernel, fix the ENIGMA kernel as needed, 
and then recompile ENIGMA. Then I reboot.

Basically, I want to be able to still refer to my GENERIC kernel
upon bootup in case ENIGMA doesn't boot. 

Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
