Unusual, also can't find anything similar at the Marc archives. This
is a new build, halfway through. I've built current sources, built
and installed new kernel. Now I cannot go into single to install new
sources.

No problems at all, running multi-. Just can't get into single.
Tried 'boot -s' at initial choice, also tried 'boot_single="YES"' in
/boot/loader.conf. No luck.

Last build, about 10 days ago, allowed me to get into single to
install sources but both that build and this one would display no
boot details. Just this:

/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x1b1da4 data=0x3828c+0x52d68 \(sameline)
				syms=[0x4+0x30b10+0x4+0x3b481]
|   (<-this doesn't revolve)

then into the login prompt.

This is /boot/loader.conf that I tried:
boot_single="YES"
boot_verbose="YES"

Even though I get no details at boot, dmesg works just fine and is
up-to-date.

$ uname -a   ( <-- formatted for mail)
FreeBSD trittico.fiddi.com 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0:
Fri Dec 21 16:20:39 PST 2001
root@trittico.fiddi.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TRITTICO  i386

So where do I explore? I've read manpages, searched google/bsd, the
faq & handbook, of course.

Should I look into what I might have config'd into my kernel?
Maybe I should try to boot GENERIC? (Yeah I'll try that, but I still
want to run my kernel with the options that I've added.)

Any hints on what to explore would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
