Ok, I'm ready (I think) to build a kernal. Now in case Ive screwed things 
up and before I build and install a custom one...

kernal.GENERIC is a backup kernal? and kernal is the one that gets booted?

So if something goes foobar, when I'm at a BOOT: prompt I can type:

boot: wd1(0,a)/kernal.GENERIC

and this would boot me a good kernal to recover from?
Or should I just use chflags noschg and move my /kernal to a safe place?

My BSD disk is wd1 (entire disk) on controller wdc0. 

BTW if its applicable I;m using 2.1.7.

Thanks
Keith
