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?
