CVS today. Dual Opteron running
5.3-STABLE #3: Tue Nov 30 01:44:05 EST 2004
Following the instructions in UPDATING, I get the following,
indicating a bad kernel. 2 questions:
1) Is this a known, corrected issue as of today? I ran another
CVSUP and did not see any changed to src.
2) More importantly, I recovered by loading /boot/kernel.old/kernel
and the box is up BUT I am concerned that the NEXT time that I
do "make installkernel" I'll stomp on kernel.old losing this fallback
procedure. I can certainly copy /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel.save
but is there something else I should save? Or is there another
suggested procedure?

The box failed with:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:/dev/da0a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
