The last known good state of my system was a world and kernel from Sunday, Aug 24 at approx 12:00 EDT. This problem is from a kernel built from sources current as of Aug 26th at approx 22:00 EDT Here's the sequence - I booted the system, had a panic while running sysctl from etc/rc.d/devd. It completed a core dump, and rebooted. (Good, I thought, this time I'll have a dump for a backtrace). The system rebooted and found no bootable disks. I had to repartition the disk and restore from backup. I suspect the dump scribbled all over the drive... This is repeatable, and I found out, I have good backups :) Anything I can do to help, please let me know. I'll try to get some sort of a backtrace, but I think doing it from a core dump will be futile... Thanks.
