Hi...

	Just got a new machine in the office to replace my old 386 machine,
and am trying to install current onto it.

	I started off installing 2.1.0-RELEASE, to give me a base to work
from, then installed all the sources for -current except for games.

	After doing a 'make depend all install' on /usr/src/include,
I rebuilt the kernel and installed that.  Without any other changes, when
I rebooted, I got a kvm() error on ifconfig, which I expected, but it then
hung.

	I rebooted into -RELEASE, and installed a -current ifconfig and
rebooted (and libkvm). hung again.

	If I ctl-c around the hang, everything seems to come up alright,
except now I get stale nfs handles, so my nfs mounts don't work.

	If I boot back into -RELEASE, all is well.

	-current is that which was sup'd in as of about 6am this morning,
so its current.

	The reason I haven't done a make world yet is due to a recommendation
by *someone* awhile back who suggested making sure the kernel works before
building everything.  

	It is something, possibly, with some other library that needs
to be replaced?  Is it a known problem that just popped up, or is it just
cause I'm trying to bring it up from RELEASE?

Thanks...
