This sounds a little like something that happened to me when I built a 7.1 GENERIC kernel. When I did an installworld, I got this: > Can't work out which disk we are booting from. Guessed BIOS device > 0xffffffff not found by probes defaulting to disk0: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=2355 described the problem.

I tried a bootonly CD image, but it came back with "Missing operating system". Fortunately I was able to boot from a backup root partition, copy loader.old to loader, and reboot normally. -- Karl Vogel I don't speak for the USAF or my company Must destroy mankind!
