I had to do this recently after overclocking my PCI bus. That is a last resort process which you might need to try if other recovery processes dont help (such as a normal fsck of your root filesystem after booting off floppy disks). Of course my problem was of my own doing nothing to do with -CURRENT which has given me years of mostly trouble free operation. If you have been reading the cvs-all and freebsd-current mailing lists you will know that there has been a huge level of changes to -CURRENT over the last month or so and there is bound to be some instability while these changes settle down. If you aren't reading these lists then I dont know how you can run -CURRENT.
