so, FYI: today i added a "machdep.booted_kernel" sysctl variable to
-current that you'll see when you rebuild your kernel and sysctl.

I got sick of having lots of KVM-using programs not work when i booted
alternate kernels.  (I've been doing a lot of that lately, testing
changes.  8-)


Anyway, if that tends to annoy you, too, i suggest you put something
like:

(
        kernelname=`sysctl -n machdep.booted_kernel 2> /dev/null`
        if [ X"${kernelname}" = X"" ]; then
                kernelname=/netbsd
        fi
        kvm_mkdb "${kernelname}"
)

into /etc/rc, in place of the existing kvm_mkdb command.
