There was a window of a few hours where the 4-current loader was broken due to a typo on my part. I forgot to merge the fix back into 3-stable (which I've just now done). Please resup/rebuild/reinstall the loader. Also note that for those of you that had to change your /etc/fstab - you'll have to change it right back. 8) If you have to push through a loader that has this bug, 'set root_disk_unit=0' for eg. a system with root on wd0 or da0 will avoid the broken code. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
