Would it matter that I did the upgrade procedure: sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 6.3-RELEASE upgrade serveral times? I had problems with system asking for file comparison, which I described here (and I wanted to have another look at them): http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-January/166804.html Could this be why I have no GENERIC kernel?
