X-Mailer: VM 6.72 under 21.1 (patch 10) "Capitol Reef" XEmacs Lucid X-face: "5Mnwy%?j>IIV\)A=):rjWL~NB2aH[}Yq8Z=u~vJ`"(,&SiLvbbz2W`;h9L,Yg`+vb1>RG% *h+%X^n0EZd>TM8_IB;a8F?(Fb"lw'IgCoyM.[Lg#r\ Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've got a system with 4.1-STABLE installed. I mount -current sources on it, do make buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld and reboot. The boot loader runs, gives me the "booting default in..." countdown, prints "|", and then stops. After thrashing the disks (with *no* boot messages), I get a prompt from init. Since the same sources build and boot properly elsewhere, I assume I've missed a step. I normally run mergemaster after installworld and rebooting singleuser. Could someone provide the clue I've not got? thanx,
