>Description:
"make installkernel" does not create $(KMODDIR).  As a result, all files are installed as $(KMODDIR) but not under $(KMODDIR).  Quick-workaround is "mkdir $(KMODDIR)" before installkernel; but installkernel process is broken.
>How-To-Repeat:
# ls /boot/dir
ls: /boot/dir: No such file or directory
# make installkernel KMODDIR=/boot/dir
