            Bug ID: 201427
           Summary: freebsd-update no longer recognizes /boot/GENERIC
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: walker_643 at yahoo.com

The manpage for freebsd-update states that it will find the generic kernel
under /boot/GENERIC which is useful for systems that have a custom kernel in
/boot/kernel. It allowed the user to run on the custom build all the while
keeping an up-to-date generic kernel around for emergencies. While this used to
be true, it is no longer the case.

The following thread from Jan 2013 mentions the same issue:
