<note>
<para>We recommend that you make a dated snapshot of
your new <filename>/kernel</filename> called
<filename>/kernel.YYMMDD</filename> after you get it
working properly. Also back up your new
<filename>/modules</filename> directory to
<filename>/modules.YYMMDD</filename>. That way, if
you make a mistake the next time you play with your
configuration you can boot the backup kernel instead
of having to fall back to
<filename>kernel.GENERIC</filename>. This is
particularly important if you are now booting from a
controller that GENERIC does not support.</para>
<para>The new <filename>kernel</filename> will installed
to the <filename>/boot/kernel</filename> directory along
with its modules, while the old kernel and its modules
will be moved to the <filename>/boot/kernel.old</filename>
directory, so if you make a mistake the next time you
play with your configuration you can boot the previous
version of your kernel.</para>
