            Bug ID: 197304
           Summary: improve feedback of freebsd-update after failure due
                    to missing /boot/kernel
           Product: Base System
           Version: 9.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: krichter at posteo.de

If `/boot/kernel` doesn't exist and `freebsd-update fetch` is invoked, the
command fails with the error message `Cannot identify running kernel`. It would
be much more helpful to append the reason.

This is discussed in
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/cannot-identify-running-kernel.43329/ with a
reference to the relevant code.
