Maybe the kernel Makefile should put the newly built kernel in a subdirectory,
to make it a bit more obvious that you need to do more than just copy the 
kernel file.   i.e.:
 .../GENERIC/netbsd/
 .../GENERIC/netbsd/netbsd
 .../GENERIC/netbsd/netbsd.gdb
 .../GENERIC/netbsd/modules -> /stand  (or a readme file, or whatever)
  
There was some talk about the actual installed kernel being a directory; what
ever happened with that?
