Alternative, use a hardlink to point to the kernel version of your
choice. E.g.
/netbsd.mine
/netbsd.yours
ln netbsd.mine netbsd
should do the trick. The advantage is that one doesn't need to
rename the old kernel and allows a sensible naming convention. Later,
if you want to change back to another kernel, just change the link.
