: The kernel is distributed in two places (why?).  Are we talking about
: the kernels in the binary/sets directory or the kernels in the
: binary/kernel directory?

The binary/sets/kern.tgz is intended for use by installers, and can contain
just one kernel.  It's the machine-independent location for a "GENERIC"
kernel image.

However, the mac68k boots in a rather odd way compared to most other ports.
It needs a kernel not wrapped in a tarball.  Additionally, two variations of
GENERIC are supplied for slightly different purposes (GENERIC/GENERICSBC).
However, the GENERIC one *should* be identical to what is in kern.tgz.
