I don't know whether this is useful info or not, but the -stable
from Oct. 31 which is installed on my hard drive boots fine using
-current's loader. "Huh?" OK, I have a dual boot setup with -current
on da0a and -stable on da0f. So when I boot, -current's loader always
gets control. Then I can make it boot -stable like this:
unload
set currdev=disk0f
boot /kernel
That works reliably.
