--- Comment #27 from Gary Jennejohn <gljennj...@gmail.com> ---
(In reply to Alexey Dokuchaev from comment #26)
I sort of understand your reluctance.

I never install a new kernel over the top of the old kernel.  Instead I do this
(as root, of course) in a bash alias:

mkdir -p /boot/test
cd /usr/src
make -s installkernel KODIR=/boot/test
nextboot -k test
cd

Then a reboot will boot the new kernel from /boot/test.  If it fails the next
boot will use the old, known-good kernel.

If it succeeds then you can simply run "make installkernel" so that the
standard kernel in /boot/kernel will be updated and used.
