Subject:   Loader causing reset on 4.6-STABLE

Since updating my sources yesterday and upgrading to 4.6-STABLE, I've
encountered a problem with getting my machine to successfully boot.

Before loader even finishes initialising, my box just resets.  Some kind of 
error is echoed to the screen, but I'm unable to catch exactly what it says.

I can, however, issue a ^C just after I've selected which disk to boot from in
the bootloader and before loader causes my box to reset.  This then allows me
to boot /kernel (instead of /boot/loader), and apart from it complaining about
loader metadata being missing, it continues to boot and function just fine.

So, any ideas?  I've not seen noticed anyone complain of a similar problem
so far with -STABLE, and I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to try next.

The hardware is fairly standard - Intel Celeron 433, Asus BX-based mainboard,
Adaptec 2940U SCSI controller, and the bootdisk is an IBM DNES-309170 (9.1GB
SCSI) designated da0.

TIA.
