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.

Cheers,

Scott
