Had a similar problem on my t22 thinkpad (i386). The kernel was simply missing
after serveral installations.
I did 6.1-RELEASE standard installations with several different configurations
regarding slice setup /mbr (allways the whole hd for freebsd) and
installation medias (ftp and cd). All failed with a missing kernel.
After finding this bug report i started to investigate a bit. With debug on i
can see a few error messages on the debug console:
DEBUG: Executing command 'rm -rf /boot/kernel'
DEBUG: Command 'rm -rf /boot/kernel' returns status of 0
DEBUG: Executing command 'mv /boot/GENERIC /boot/kernel'
mv: rename /boot/GENERIC to /boot/kernel: No such file or directory
DEBUG: Command 'mv /boot/GENERIC /boot/kernel' returns status of 1
I tried to install again to get some more debug info on the next "try" and
suddenly it worked. I have not changed a bit and have absolutely no clue what
the problem was. I would be happy to investigate some more if someone could
tell me some neat way to log the debug console of sysinstall or any other
debug technique for the problem.
