I found it was a good idea (by experience), to always have an up to date
version of the GENERIC-kernel available in /. Since it is possible to
build two kernel by saying
# make buildkernel KERNEL="mykernel GENERIC"
it would also be nice to have the possibility to install both new kernels to
/ (instead of only installing the first) by saying
# make installkernel KERNEL="mykernel GENERIC"
Attached you find a patch to do this.
Best regards.
