Rebuilt world and kernel from source. Everything works great. No custom kernel, just GENERIC. I then merged in just /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386 changes to June 10th. Rebuilt in /usr/src/sys/boot and installed it, no problem. Then I merged in the latest from /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader, rebuilt, installed, and BOOM. DEATH TO DRIVE. Disk label GONE again. Hangs after "BIOS drive C: is disk1" at boot. Does not get to memory check, let alone to the "Welcome to FreeBSD and choose a boot option" screen. CULPRIT REVEALED: So, there is only one file change in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader from June 8th to June 10th, which kills my machine very repeatably, and that is the Makefile. Something in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/Makefile is killing my drive. What do I try next? Thanks for the help. Dan
