'kay. I need a reality check. I believe I might be on the right but...

The 8.0-CURRENT-200906 image does not install a kernel. I have found the 
instructions below to apply.

To create a custom kernel:

1) removed the sym link from /boot/efi to /boot
2) create /boot
3) copy /efi/boot /boot
4) do the kernel install
5) rename /efi/boot/kernel
6) copy /boot/kernel to /efi/boot
7) remove /boot
8) restored the sym link from /efi/boot to /boot



Now the problem is that we don't have the proper kernel to install. 
Normally, the install CD would create the folders and links. Using the 
above instructions would allow a kernel to be created and then moved to 
the /efi partition. The only problem is that I don't know how to do the 
build from within the rescue shell on the CD.

Am I on the wrong path?
