            Bug ID: 235627
           Summary: Handbook 23.2.2 references GENERIC kernel outdated
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd at dreamchaser.org

Section 23.2.2 of the Handbook indicates keeping a copy of the GENERIC kernel
around is a good idea.  There is no longer be a kernel named GENERIC, although
there is a generic kernel:

11.2-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p4 #0: Thu Sep 27 08:16:24 UTC 2018    
root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

The section needs to be reworked to indicate how one knows a generic kernel is
installed, and how to identify that the generic kernel is still present if the
current kernel is not the generic one.
