Looks like boot(8) is problematic.
Okay, here is the June 13th noon update to this problem.
I once again installed a May 28th build. Rebuilt world and kernel
from source. Everything works great. No custom kernel, just GENERIC.
I then merged in just /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386 changes to June
10th. Rebuilt in /usr/src/sys/boot and installed it, no problem.
Then I merged in the latest from /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader,
rebuilt, installed, and BOOM. DEATH TO DRIVE. Disk label GONE
again. Hangs after "BIOS drive C: is disk1" at boot. Does not get to
memory check, let alone to the "Welcome to FreeBSD and choose a boot
option" screen.
CULPRIT REVEALED:
So, there is only one file change in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader
from June 8th to June 10th, which kills my machine very repeatably,
and that is the Makefile.
Something in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/Makefile is killing my drive.
What do I try next?
Thanks for the help.
Dan
