Hey all, I just upgraded via source from FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE to FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p2 on my Compaq Presario M2000 laptop. I followed the procedures as outlined in the handbook basically: mergemaster -p make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel reboot to single user mergemaster -p make isntallworld mergemaster reboot Basically all went well until the final reboot. I never get to the boot menu (the loader menu that used to have the ascii beastie on it). instead a screen appears for a split second and the laptop reboots. The only text I can make out after trying this many times is BTX. :( It's just up for too short a time to even try and figure out what's being displayed. Using a 6.0-RELEASE rescue disk I copied loader.old to loader, rebooted and the system boots fine, but now I'm using a 6.0 loader with 6.1. Any clues on what could be wrong? Thanks, Micah
