    Quick q on this one:

    I have several configs now to trace problems with acpi sleeping modes on this
    Inspiron laptop. On -stable I used to be able to boot /kernel.mychoice. Now
    everything is stored in /boot/kernel.

    Does:
    boot kernel.mychoice
    now search for: /boot/kernel.mychoice/kernel ?
    or:
    /boot/kernel/kernel.mychoice

    And, does how does makeoptions KERNEL=kernel.mychoice affect this, since sys/
    conf/NOTES says:
    #makeoptions KERNEL=foo #Build kernel "foo" and install "/foo"

    which seems to be the old way of doing things.
