I had a 4gig drive laying around that I wanted to use for a router, so I installed the latest (from about 1.5 weeks ago) from the 5.x distrubutions. I added ipfw/natd/dummynet to the kernel file and did a full buildworld, buildkernel. I rebooted after install kernel, everything seemed normal, did install world/mergemaster, rebooted. Right now, I have an 'ok' prompt, it appears after the 'Press enter to start booting immediately, or hit any other key to <do something else>' option and it states it cannot find kernel or kernel.old. My guesses are that either I got a really bad batch of sources, I performed a buildworld wrong (though I did double check my steps with the handbook first), or my hard drive picked a really unusual place to die. It is a new clean install so it wouldn't be a huge issue to reinstall, but if it is hardware, I will need to replace the drive before doing this again. Any thoughts on how to determine the problem? Thanks for any tips.
