BTX loader hangs after version info

2008-05-22 Thread James Seward
Hello, Two days ago I csup'd my desktop at home, which was running RELENG_7 from about 7.0-RELEASE time, to bring it up-to-date (still on RELENG_7). I followed my usual buildkernel/world procedure (the usual one) which has worked fine all the way since 5.x. After installing kernel and restarting i

Still can't boot on 6.0-STABLE > Nov 2005 or 6.1-BETA

Hello folks, A while back (January) I posted to the list about a problem I had booting 6.0-STABLE built with sources after about November 2005 on my workstation. Since that point, and including (I have now discovered) 6.1-PRERELEASE (as my freshly built kernel identified itself just now), I can't
