I'm running a full make world and kernel from yesterday and xrdb stalls in piperd. Perhaps Peter's libc fix is better than Bruces after all? :-) The reason you're getting ony the X screen is that your .xinitrc hasn't completed. If you look at a process listing, you'll find xrdb is stalled. If you're not using any preprocessor directives in your .Xresources file, then add -nocpp to the invocation of xrdb to avoid the stall. Of course, this is only a workaround.
