I installed 10.0-p12 in a VM, copied /boot/kernel to /boot/GENERIC and built
a custom kernel.

I did a freebsd-upgrade -r 10.1-RELEASE upgrade and it did not update
/boot/GENERIC, instead it overwrited my custom kernel in /boot/kernel.

Also, in freebsd-update output, I did not see any warning about using
custom kernel.

Should I update freebsd-update.conf or use different freebsd-update
command?

Maybe it was my fault, I will try again tomorrow.

BR,
Marko
