As soon as /boot/loader is booted, the machine resets. I've also seen the kwrite search crash - but don't know if this is related. Also, I had a similar problem with grub when I installed some months ago from the ports. I downloaded a newer version from the homepage and installed it manually which just worked fine (I suppose because no cputype/optimization was set when compiling by hand). -- Stefan Ehmann
