I think I am seeing the same thing on an old 486/66. I believe I have found the commit that caused the problem, but have not had time to take this further (it takes about 27 hours to do build/installworld on this system). The kernel from 2000.10.25.06.00.00 boots correctly. One built from 2000.10.25.06.55.00 sources exhibits the problem. The only kernel-related commit during that window is: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=564525+0+archive/2000/cvs-all/20001029.cvs-all I was just about to email Soren with the details, but it might make more sense for someone with a faster machine to actually help debug this (I am willing but it will be slow going on this machine). I can also add that if I attempt to install 4.2-RELEASE from the CD onto this disk, everything looks normal until sysinstall goes to write to the disk. At that point, I get the message: panic: Going nowhere without my init! Please let me know what additional information would be useful.
