I was loading a screen saver with the boot loader. And now I see I am wrong about rebuilding the loader! When I had success loading the kernel directly, I moved loading the screensaver into rc.conf instead. Then I thought that something may be wrong with the loader, rebuilt it, and booted successfully. I broke the rule - never change more than one thing at a time :) I put the screen saver back in loader.conf and the boot failed again, so it is a loader/kernel issue, but I didn't have to rebuild loader. -Bryan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
