I updated Sunday 19 August, and as many times previously, things were working ok. But a few minutes ago I updated & made a new buildworld, buildkernel & installkernel, & the new kernel refuses to boot -s (or at all) so I can complete the install (aka installworld). The "complaint" is some kind of verbosity about "can't find a boot-device" or "missing device da(?)" I do have device da, as I have for a long long time... Sorry I can't explain it any better b/c I (so far) I can't capture that message-stream. It certainly never has done *this* to me before... I also tried another cvsup, in case maybe I was in the "middle" of some updates; none...
