I recompiled a kernel, and instead of the last step of doing the 'make install', I copied the kernel to /kernel, moving my old kernel to /kernel.old.. Now, when I boot, it takes the new kernel, and says: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a and stops there.. If I do a boot -v, I get one more line, something like: Attempting to start: /sbin/init and that's it. /sbin/init is there, not corrupted, and has the correct permissions. I even tried booting with the old kernel, same thing. What did I mess up? How can I fix it? Any ideas?
