Used csup (tag=.) to update the source tree as of midnight last night. 4) Built world - OK. Build kernel - OK. Ran mergemaster - OK. Installed kernel - OK. 5) On rebooting, the loader(??) claims to not be able to find a bootable partition - i.e. I get a screen that ends in "mountpoint > ". Providing the presumptive value by hand returns "error 19". 6) Boot using installation CD and use "gpart show" to double check device names and partitions; everything looks good. 7) Try normal booting again, no go. This is my first time installing to a GPT partitioned system, and I have (obviously) failed to grok something. I checked src/UPDATING and found nothing which covered this. What is it, and how do I fix it? Respectfully, Robert Huff
