/usr/src/etc/etc.i386/Makefile.inc, target snap_md:
cp ${.CURDIR}/../sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC/bsd \
${DESTDIR}/snapshot/bsd
/usr/src/etc/Makefile, target release:
-cp ${DESTDIR}/snapshot/*bsd* ${RELEASEDIR}
That doesn't look like the kernel from the running system, IMHO.

In case you have RELEASEDIR=/usr/rel and /bsd is not GENERIC, yes,
i would expect those two kernels to differ.
