For me I got caught doing the: make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO make installkernel mergemaster make installworld BAM! installworld fails, and the signal 12's start to manifest. I'm afraid to reboot at this point, and decided to backup my stuff before proceeding with anything (rebooting) that might result in my system becoming utterly useless. Should I manually copy the items in /usr/obj to their final destination, or take my chances with a reboot? Maybe wait for the jpsnap to catchup and boot a -current livecd to finish the makeinstall? I'm seeking the path of least resistance which involves anything other than flattening my -current install.
