Oh, OK. So then he may have gotten screwed if he did a buildworld/installworld during the awk experiment, installed 'bad' awk, then did buildworld/installworld now & got a loader built with the bad awk. Does that sound right? Wilko. If you can get your machine to boot, copy /boot/loader.old over /boot/loader and try rebuilding/reinstalling the loader without bothering w/a buildworld.
