pkgbase
Summary

When building with only one kernel stage it and create the package
so it will be installed in /boot/kernel.${INSTKERNNAME}.
The advantage is that is doesn't conflict with make installkernel which helps
when you are using pkgbase on your main dev box.

I'll update UPDATING after that as this will likely break existing installation.

is this still relevant? i don't think it's correct (anymore): the first kernel in KERNCONF is always installed to /boot/kernel because that's where the default kernel is expected to be. changing that would require updating a load of stuff (like loader) to look somewhere else instead.

It's not and iirc there was problems with this patch (unfortunately I can't remember what ...)
