The old version of genkernel (the one that didnt need any parameters) would mount /boot, the new version does not. i think it is time for a new online doc on how to use the new genkernel other than its name it has little in common with the old one: there is a new config file for it, it doesnt look at /etc/kernels anymore etc etc...
