There used to be a manual steps, leaving out the chflags steps. cp /kernel /kernel.old cp /GENERIC /kernel A sensible person will leave out the first step if the old kernel is hosed. Now it is too easy to do: /kernel (good) buildkernel + installkernel /kernel (bad) /kernel.old (good) buildkernel + installkernel /kernel (bad) /kernel.old (bad) as the install moves /kernel to /kernel.old.
