 It would be LEGACY not GENERIC2.
 
 By the way, why don't we revive vga@isa and pcdisplay for INSTALL kernel?
 If I understand kern/49290 correctly, it does not cause any problems for
 INSTALL, where DRMKMS drivers are disabled (*).
 
 (*) For -current and netbsd-8, only nouveau is enabled for INSTALL. It
 seems to be forgotten to be disabled, when it is added to GENERIC. We
 should probably disable it (also for amd64).
