Sources have been updated today with RELENG_4_6 (4.6.1-RELEASE-p6) Problem description: Kernel generic somehow probed ncr driver before sym, report about "CACHE TEST FAILED" -- and then I got a machine without disk driver. Sad. [It's definitely unlucky day -- this very machine not only is our main nameserver with approx 2600 zones, but also has no floppy drive ;-)] For the reference, I'd solved the problem by inserting floppy drive, boot from 4.6-R install floppies, fixit, and ftp kernel with sym from build machine. I'm afraid I cannot build test case to dig into this problem (I have no other ncr810 available), so I think there is not enough info to file a PR; but I suppose this case should be investigated rather thoroughly.
