Booting an alternative kernel from loader prompt fails the first
When trying to boot an alternative kernel from the loader prompt
it fails the first time the command is run but succeeds the second
time.
Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK boot kernel.generic
Booting...
don't know how to load module '/boot/kernel.generic/kernel'
OK boot kernel.generic
Booting...
/boot/kernel.generic/kernel text=0xd21288 data=......
Both kernels where built from r249664 based source.
As a side issue, shouldn't additional kernel module dependencies
be noted in UPDATING so those that use MODULES_OVERRIDE don't get
bitten by machines failing to boot due to known dependencies?
Ideally it would be nice if there was some sort of warning when
building / installing the kernel that dependencies where missing.

Steve
