Well, in all honesty, I don't know if it was portupgrade that *caused*
it. That was only the last thing I ran. I was gone for all of a minute
maybe and portupgrade was the only program I had running. Running
portupgrade is definitely not the only thing I did since last rebooting. 
The machine was up for at least a few days.

Anyhow, if anyone can help me troubleshoot this and get it booted I'd
be grateful. If I have to spend the evening on my Windows game box
when I get home, I might just jump off a building ;-D

Cheers,
Zach Thompson
