/root/kernels is not booted by default. I doubt this is the kernel that
is running.
To run generic again, simply install the generic kernel much the same
way you did the custon kernel.
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
or set KERNCONF in /etc/make.conf
If you tweaked /boot/loader.conf to load something other than
/boot/kernel/kernel then you'll need to untweak it.
Later,
Jason
