After I upgraded one of my machines from FreeBSD 7.0 to 7.1, I am experiencing a problem with the loader. It stops with these messages: Can't work out which disk we are booting from. Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to disk0: can't load 'kernel' I have taken a screenshot (Yes, with my camera): http://borderworlds.dk/~xi/loader.jpg I notice the follwoing at the top of the screen: skip_newline\ not found When looking through the forth code I see a function named skip_newlines. Does this perhaps indicate that some string handling goes wrong somewhere? Anyway, using /boot/loader.old from 7.0 works perfectly. I have not seen this issue on any of the other 10+ machines that I have upgraded to 7.1. I am ready to provide more info on request if neccesary. -- Christian Laursen
