Booting a new kernel after "make installkernel"

[Roger Leigh]

I've retried with 10.2-releng (r297915) built from a 10.2-RELEASE-p0 
install, and it built and rebooted just fine, now on p14.  It took 14 
hours, but great success!

I'd be happy to retry with 10.3 or 11 either vanilla or with any patches 
you'd like testing.


Thanks,
Roger
