 You can see differences between GENERIC and INSTALL by config files,
 sys/arch/sun3/conf/{GENERIC,INSTALL}. One reason why install.md script
 installs INSTALL kernel may be that GENERIC won't boot on some less memory
 machines (like 3/50 with 4MB RAM), but not sure.

 You can see the running kernel name in kernel log by dmesg(8)
 or output of "uname -v". Could you check again if the GENERIC
 binary in 3.0 actually has a problem on COMPAT_SUNOS?
