I've just upgraded from 3.0-RELEASE (all ELF except the kernel) to
the -STABLE branch via cvsup with the RELENG_3 tag.
I have 2 partitions - a DOS FAT partition (wd0s1)
and a FreeBSD partition (wd0S2)
"make world" went fine with the new -STABLE sources.
edited the kernel config file and rebuilt a new ELF
kernel ("make depend"; "make"; "make install") - went fine
updated my boot blocks (or so I thought) with:
"disklabel -B wd0" (and after trouble struck, tried
"disklabel -B wd0s2" and
"disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 wd0" and
"disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 wd0s2" without
any success ...)
but now, at each reboot, the machine crashes and burns with:
F1 ... Dos
F2 ... FreeBSD
Default: F2
int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00030097 elp=00000f18
eax=00000800 ebx=00000000 ecx=00000000 edx=00000080
esi=00000000 edi=00000000 ebp=00000000 esp=00000408

ss:esp=00 08 00 00 02 00 87 91-00 00 02 02 00 00 00 00
System halted
Needless to say, this never happened with 2.2-STABLE or
3.0-RELEASE.
The MBR is OK because I can still boot into the DOS partition.
Obviously I've done something stupid. I've read the handbook;
the "ELF day" page, and the "Notes on the new bootblocks" page;
I've tried fixing this from the fixit floppy, but right now
I'm stuck with an unbootable machine. Please help!
Thanks
