            Bug ID: 199054
           Summary: freebsd-update should use /boot/kernel.old and not
                    kernel.old1
           Product: Base System
           Version: 9.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: torsten.eichstaedt at web.de

After 'freebsd-update' the old kernel saved in /boot/kernel.old1 and not
/kernel.old, but kernel/old1 is not in the boot loader's menu by default.  Thus
one can't go back after an update in case something went wrong.

Environment:
FreeBSD paul-lifebook.local.lan 9.3-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p10 #0: Tue
Feb 24 21:28:03 UTC 2015    
root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
(I booted kernel.old after update)

How-To-Repeat:
have /boot/kernel.old and issue 'freebsd-update'

Fix:
Add this line to /boot/loader.conf:
kernels="kernel kernel.old kernel.old1"
