Description gil 1994-11-13 12:50:04 UTC 
	If a custom kernel (one compiled with my hardware's configuration
	specified) is placed on the boot disk before installation, the
	bindist will overwrite the /kernel that is copied to the hard
	disk during the earlier copy of /kernel from the boot disk.

Fix: 

Don't put /kernel in the bindist.

	A documented workaround for users would be to replace /kernel
	by copying it from the boot floppy after the bindist has been
	extracted.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Install FreeBSD 2.0-ALPHA from bindist with a custom kernel
