Before loader even finishes initialising, my box just resets. Some kind of error is echoed to the screen, but I'm unable to catch exactly what it says. I can, however, issue a ^C just after I've selected which disk to boot from in the bootloader and before loader causes my box to reset. This then allows me to boot /kernel (instead of /boot/loader), and apart from it complaining about loader metadata being missing, it continues to boot and function just fine. So, any ideas? I've not seen noticed anyone complain of a similar problem so far with -STABLE, and I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to try next. The hardware is fairly standard - Intel Celeron 433, Asus BX-based mainboard, Adaptec 2940U SCSI controller, and the bootdisk is an IBM DNES-309170 (9.1GB SCSI) designated da0.
