It worked fine. I csup'ed the RELENG_7 src, and compiled and installed world and a kernel. All of this with no error. I rebooted into the new kernel, and it was fine. Then I rebooted after "make installworld" and I'm getting that same error. I did not modify any file at all. Looks like there's a typo in the bootloader config for 7.0-RC1?
