At any rate, do you know anywhere which shows the procedure to hook up a
generator feed IN to the fuse box, such that I can disconnect via the
main,
from the local utility?

It really doesn't seem that complicated. It's just the kind of thing you
just don't want to get WRONG ... LOL



But your idea is already wrong and not according to any code or standard
practice.

You need an interlocking device (transfer switch) to insure that the
mains and generator can never be connected.

That is not correct. At least two manufacturers make interlock devices
that are in fact add ons to the main distribution panel for the home.
Just like the separate transfer switches these breaker interlock kits
will prevent the generator supply from connecting with the outside
lines. Since these interlock kits are laboratory listed they are in
fact in accordance with the National Electric Code.
