Can you narrow it down to a specific change > under > sys/boot? Ok. I updated just the one file since it appeared like one of the few changed files /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c and rebuilt things with cd /usr/src/sys/boot; make cleandir obj depend all install and it was okay. No problems. Then I did sync'd all of the changed files for /usr/src/sys/boot and my machine is hung again at boot, so we have narrowed it down to somewhere in /usr/src/sys/boot/. Time to reinstall from a DVD and try it with finer granularity. This will take some time. There appears to be only four files that have changed in /usr/src/sys/ boot from June 8th (all working fine) to June 11th (dead in the water). They are: /usr/src/sys/boot/Makefile /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/Makefile /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/Makefile I have ruled out bisodisk.c, as stated above. That means that the Makefiles are building new stuff that previously was not built, namely zfsboot gptzfsboot I believe it has to do with that. More help is needed! I am tired of reinstalling the OS, but I am much more paranoid about updating my other machine in any way now, as it could erase that whole machine. I can't believe I am the only one seeing this...
