Hello, After making some changes to my kernel and rebuilding (traditional way), my system does not boot anymore. I tried to boot from the GENERIC kernel following the instructions in the handbook. First 'unload kernel' followed by 'boot /boot/kernel.GENERIC/kernel', but it mentions that it cannot find the kernel. I'm trying to boot from the USB drive. If I go to the command prompt and verify currdev and loaddev are set to disk1s1a, which I believe is correct. When I boot the 'new' kernel, I get the mountroot prompt which asks me for a manual root filesystem. What can I do to boot my GENERIC kernel so I can rebuild from it and my system will boot normal again. Thanks, Alain
