 Maybe, but could you please file another PR for it?
 Then I'll close this one.

 Yes, it's actually installed if you specify kern-GENERIC.tgz set,
 but the install script (you can see it in src/distrib/miniroot/install.sh
 and src/distrib/sun3/miniroot/install.md) copy INSTALL kernel
 again from miniroot to your target disk after extracting sets.
 (you might see "Copying sun3 kernel..." message at that time)

 Commenting out the cp(1) command in the install.md script?
 
 Maybe we should add some sanity check if proper kernel is
 already installed or not in md_copy_kernel(), but you can
 still extract GENERIC kernel from the kern-GENERIC.tgz set
 manually on your shell.
