Description paulo 1999-12-28 18:20:01 UTC

When I do upgrades (booting from cdrom and chosing UPGRADE option) always
the file /boot/kernel.conf are removed. Now before I start new upgrade I
make a copy for that file.
 
I think upgrade script should move /boot/kernel.conf to
/boot/kernel.conf.old instead remove it.

How-To-Repeat: When I'm UPGRADing several systems.

FreeBSD no longer has a /boot/kernel.conf file, so this PR is 
not really relevant any more.
