However, as I said, there's extremely unlucky day [tm] ;-P -- old kernel somehow didn't managed to boot properly. So, I've found myself with a [vital] machine without either bootable kernel or floppy drive. Anyway, main point of my posting was pointing out the fact that kernel built from today's RELENG_4_6 GENERIC probed ncr _before_ sym. Which leads to trouble, you see. [sidenote: it's not the first time I kill loaded server with upgrading process: being The Unhappy to build RELENG_4 on central router at the wrong moment of initial luigi's MFCing of ipfw2 should teach me a bit -- but it didn't ;->] Anyway, my deep respects to the Committers Team to bring us so [no irony!] solid and reliable OS.
