In both cases, whether it's GENERIC or GENERIC.MP, `make install` installs the kernel to /bsd: rm -f /obsd ln /bsd /obsd cp bsd /nbsd mv /nbsd /bsd > If make builds a kernel and leaves it in / and just doesn't point the > bootloader at it that will be enough and I'll just make install the mp > kernel like I think you are saying. The bootloader loads /bsd by default. So, if you're about to provide both versions, and you generally want GENERIC.MP to be loaded, you'd `make install` GENERIC.MP, and than manually copy the binary from GENERIC to /bsd.sp. At the boot prompt, you may choose the SP kernel by typing `boot bsd.sp`.
