--- Comment #2 from freebsd at dreamchaser.org ---
I may be confused, as I have not needed anything other than the generic kernel
for some time.  What I remember is that various kernels could be kept at the
same time in /boot; and the generic kernel initially appeared there as one of
them.
So if one had only the generic kernel installed, it would be present as
/boot/GENERIC.  I could be wrong here.

At the moment, my actual kernel is in /boot/kernel/kernel; there is no kernel
at all in /boot, as indicated by the doc.
I have another kernel in /boot/kernel.old/kernel
Both of these are generic kernels, but one of them is the initial one and the
other is one with binary patches applied as a result of the update process.
I don't know if there is a way of telling if they are actually generic kernels;
certainly not by name.  There is nothing in the /boot tree named GENERIC.

Since I'm not building source, /usr/obj is empty.
