I don't have my serial cable handy i'll try to get it back this I saw _exactly_ the same problem on one of my boxes today: it was shutdowned correctly yesterday, and today it wouldn't boot, but panic right after boot0. The only thing I could see were some hex numbers and "BTX halted" for a split second, then immediately reboot. It's a -current box from Sunday evening CEST. I managed to fix it by booting from floppies and running the Fixit floppy, writing a new disklabel, which seems to have become corrupted somehow.
