	Man, yet another crash on this machine.  I've got the serial 
console attached, I've got DDB compiled into the kernel, I've got 
DEBUGGER_ON_BREAK defined, but none of that helps when the bootloader 
is what craps out on me.  Here's what I got this time:

		F1	DOS
		F2	FreeBSD
		F5 	Drive 1

		Default: F2

		/boot.config: -P
		Keyboard: no

		int=00000000  err=00000000  efl=00030083  eip=00000004
		eax=000004e3  ebx=0000097f  ecx=0000dc00  edx=000034be
		esi=0000dc00  edi=00000004  ebp=00000000  esp=000004ce
		cs=c800  ds=c800  es=9e7d    fs=0000  gs=0000  ss=9e7b
		cs:eip=d4 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
		ss:esp=00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
		System halted

	I hope I typed that in correctly.


	Anyway, I'm pretty sure that I'm using the latest boot blocks and 
bootloader -- I followed steps #4 & #5 of 14.5.4.2 of the Handbook 
(see <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/x10359.html>) after my most 
recent installworld (from late last week), and I had to do a "make 
clean; make install" in each case.

	I just pressed the reset switch and rebooted, and this occurred 
again with exactly the same values, etc... -- it appears that this 
problem is reproducible.  I'm going to try rebooting with the 
keyboard plugged in, so that I can see if this makes a difference.



	Is any of this of actually any help to anyone on this list, or 
should I be posting these questions/updates to some other list (e.g., 
-current, or -hackers)?
