Yes, that was basically my fault, wasted your time on basic thing.
I'm really sorry about that.

Really great news, thanks a lot Peter, actually by adding -n option in 
/boot.config solves
the boot problem. It boots now without user intervention both 
6.1-PRERELEASE and CURRENT.
However should this kind of situation must be documented somewhere, 
maybe in FAQ ?

thanks again,
