Recently, I tried installing a custom kernel on FreeBSD 12.0. Seems, with FreeBSD 12.0, all available kernels gets auto-detected (listed in loader menu). But how shall we set the default kernel to boot from (so that I don't need to choose the kernel manually everytime)?
With FreeBSD 11.2, if we set the "kernel=<name>" in loader.conf, then it will be listed in the loader menu as the first kernel (default kernel). But, with FreeBSD 12.0, seems the newer kernels are ordered sequentially backwards. Setting "kernel" in loader.conf, doesn't seem to have an impact. Any clue?
Also, with FreeBSD 12.0, sometimes I observed the crashdump getting collected properly(vmcore and info files), but the "core.txt.N" file not getting created. Any reasons?
