Upgraded a box to yesterday's -CURRENT, and am experiencing two problems: (1) the machine spins rebooting after loading /boot/loader. I don't get a chance to interupt the boot once /boot/loader starts. Unfortunately, my serial console support also seems to be broken, so I can't read the error that flicks up before the reboot. (2) if I try to boot /boot/kernel/kernel directly, rather than via /boot/loader, it hangs in the twiddling bar. If I load the old loader and kernel, things work fine. I'm currently trying to diagnose the serial console problem, and will post more as I figure something out. There are reports on that channel about other machines having the same problem, so if you're upgrading, make sure to keep an old loader around.
