Just cvsupped stable, made a new kernel, made world, rebooted, and had my dinner & glass of wine :*) Came back and instead of my usual screensaver (fire) there was just a black screen. Keyboard input, mouse input etc did not change this. No response. I managed to login "blind" and issue a "reboot". At which stage FreeBSD rebooted. I'd like to provide more details -- but my hands - or eyes were tied. After a second glass, I've managed to repeat the problem. Eddie.
