Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
	When running ``build.sh release'' with KERNEL_DIR set to "yes", the
	kernel build tries to put _all_ non-INSTALL kernels into a single
	file $DESTDIR/netbsd/kernel and you get an error.  For amd64, there
	are 4 such kernels, and here are the errors:

...

>How-To-Repeat:
	See above
>Fix:
	Fix unknown, however a mechanism needs to be defined to specify
	which kernel should be installed, and decide what to do with (or
	where to put) any other non-installed kernels.

 This seems to have been fixed.  It does not occur with yesterday's
 build.

 I will close this PR.
