Kernel snap debug advice

I have what I think is a functional kernel snap for generic amd64.

git://kernel.ubuntu.com/rtg/kernel-snap.git master

I've been trying it out on a 15.04 KVM image without much success. For 
example:

(amd64)ubuntu at localhost:~$ sudo snappy install --allow-unauthenticated 
kernel-generic-amd64_1_amd64.snap
Installing kernel-generic-amd64_1_amd64.snap
2015/11/16 18:34:22.280402 verify.go:85: Signature check failed, but 
installing anyway as requested
Name                 Date       Version      Developer
ubuntu-core          2015-11-13 10           ubuntu
kernel-generic-amd64 2015-11-16 IFbCOQDeRJfW sideload
webdm                2015-11-13 0.9.4        canonical
generic-amd64        2015-11-13 1.4          canonical

What is up with the kernel-generic-amd64 version ?

The snap appears to have installed correctly, but to where ? I also have 
not been able to force an a|b change on reboot. Any help there ?

Once I get this amd64 snap working I'll also produce snaps for the other 
reference kernels (and raspi2), as well as an example of how to snap a 
kernel from source.
