           Summary: custom kernel: setting "makeoptions KERNEL=x" does not
                    change name of installed kernel

          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

Hi,

The comments in /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES suggest that the name for a new kernel
can be modified by including "makeoptions KERNEL=x" in the configuration file.

#makeoptions    KERNEL=foo              #Build kernel "foo" and install "/foo"

This does not work.
I tried twice, setting the variable to '2021011901' and 'kernel-2021011902'
respectively (and removing the hash sign at the beginning of the line,
obviously), but the new kernel was still installed as /boot/kernel/kernel.

> grep -rs 20210119 /boot/
Binary file /boot/kernel/kernel matches

> strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep 20210119
makeoptions     KERNEL=kernel-2021011902
