We are experiencing a problem with one of our FreBSD 6.2 machines. The
machine has been running fine for months until we had to reboot it. Now
it doesn't boot anymore. After the boot loader we get what looks like a

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)heap
boot: /boot/kernel/kern

Buildworld fails with mkmagic: Printf format, after hundreds of
