Hello,
It will not update your kernel, but if you do freebsd-update install you
will get an updated GENERIC kernel in /boot/GENERIC.
This is what I did:
freebsd-update -r 6.3-RELEASE upgrade
(got the warning you mentioned)
freebsd-update install
Got a message about installing kernel updates. Got a new generic kernel
in /boot/GENERIC (check to see this exists!)
Yes, on the other machine there is no /boot/GENERIC
So what do I do (I followed the steps you described).
# locate GENERIC
/usr/src/sys/alpha/conf/GENERIC
/usr/src/sys/alpha/conf/GENERIC.hints
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC.hints
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints
/usr/src/sys/ia64/conf/GENERIC
/usr/src/sys/ia64/conf/GENERIC.hints
/usr/src/sys/pc98/conf/GENERIC
/usr/src/sys/pc98/conf/GENERIC.hints
/usr/src/sys/powerpc/conf/GENERIC
/usr/src/sys/powerpc/conf/GENERIC.hints
/usr/src/sys/sparc64/conf/GENERIC

Thanks!

So, you actually run freebsd-update install?
Running just the freebsd-update -r 6.3-RELEASE upgrade part will not
install anything. You will have to run freebsd-update install, it will
complain about not running a GENERIC kernel and install the new one in
/boot/GENERIC. Although in my case I believe I already had a
/boot/GENERIC kernel, and I think this was created by standard
freebsd-update (i.e. when going from a -p# to another -p# while in 6.2)
Could you please send the output of uname -a and ls -la /boot
