  I recently switched from -current to -stable to avoid cutting edge
problems.  I didn't realize how tricky backing up would be, with
the shared library versions, but I finally got "make world" to
finish successfully and built a new kernel.
  Unfortunately, it won't boot.  It hangs right after the npx probe
and before the sio probe.  I think I remember encountering this
problem in -current once.  Though I haven't traced the hang down
in -stable, it occurred in a call to spl0 when probing the ISA bus
in -current.  The problem in -current was fixed in a day or so.  Does
anyone have an ideas?  Sorry if I'm a bit vague on the details, but
my system is in a state of flux as I try to bring it back to -current
level so it'll boot and run.
