I just recently did a `make world` with the cvs source as of 8:00 CET and I tried to boot from it.
.. unfortunately this update rendered my machine unbootable.
I have a multiboot machine with Windows98, and as soon as I choose to boot FreeBSD (F3 for me) it starts the loader and then it fails with an assert error.
I haven't yet been able to write down the exact errormessage, but I wanted to warn people upfront for this possible break in current. I wonder by the way what the correct recovery procedure is for a corrupted loader.
with regards,
Stephan
