I have no problems booting too, but have found strange kernel message and
hope someone can determine what to do with it - just forget it or take some
steps to prevent myself from geting unbootable system after next upgrade.

I'v moved my FreeBSD from one disk to another by hand (fdisk,
disklabel, dump etc.). So I can make some mistakes spliting the disk or
writing bootblocks. It maybe a bug or a feature of the new patched devsw
system too - then I'l post my kernel config to list.

I'l be very happy if someone can tell me is my bootdev kernel variable 
looking good if I bootup my comp from ad0s3a? (bootdev=0xa0400000)

Bye,
Serg.
