When the system boot, go to the loader prompt. Type: unload Type: load /boot/kernel/kernel Then load in your modules in with the same process. Finally, type: boot You can then look at your loader.conf and diagnose any issue that might be in it, or file a bug if there is really something wrong. Hope this helps! > _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
