OK, sounds good. Seems to me this is something that might deserve a
mention in UPDATING. Something like:
During a source upgrade of a 4-STABLE machine to -CURRENT, the
installkernel step will attempt to execute a non-existent kldxref
executable. (kldxref exists in -CURRENT, but not in 4-STABLE.)
This error is non-fatal and can be ignored.
Cheers,
Bruce.
