Hello there colleagues,

upgrading our machines according to last SAs, I'd put myself if unpleasant
situation where I can't boot from both my specific and GENERIC kernel.

Sources have been updated today with RELENG_4_6 (4.6.1-RELEASE-p6)

Problem description:

Kernel generic somehow probed ncr driver before sym, report about "CACHE
TEST FAILED" -- and then I got a machine without disk driver. Sad.

[It's definitely unlucky day -- this very machine not only is our main
nameserver with approx 2600 zones, but also has no floppy drive ;-)]

For the reference, I'd solved the problem by inserting floppy drive, boot
from 4.6-R install floppies, fixit, and ftp kernel with sym from build
machine.

I'm afraid I cannot build test case to dig into this problem (I have no
other ncr810 available), so I think there is not enough info to file a PR;
but I suppose this case should be investigated rather thoroughly.

Sincerely,
D.Marck                                   [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
