I've just upgraded from 3.0-RELEASE (all ELF except the kernel) to
the -STABLE branch via cvsup with the RELENG_3 tag.

I have 2 partitions - a DOS FAT partition (wd0s1)
and a FreeBSD partition (wd0S2)

"make world" went fine with the new -STABLE sources.

edited the kernel config file and rebuilt a new ELF
kernel ("make depend"; "make"; "make install") - went fine

updated my boot blocks (or so I thought) with:

"disklabel -B wd0" (and after trouble struck, tried
"disklabel -B wd0s2" and
"disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 wd0" and
"disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 wd0s2" without
any success ...)

but now, at each reboot, the machine crashes and burns with:


F1 ... Dos
F2 ... FreeBSD

Default: F2

int=0000000d  err=00000000  efl=00030097  elp=00000f18
eax=00000800  ebx=00000000  ecx=00000000  edx=00000080
esi=00000000  edi=00000000  ebp=00000000  esp=00000408
cs=c800  ds=0000  es=0000  fs=0000  gs=0000  ss=9edb
cs:eip=0f 20 c0 66 a9 00 00 00-80 66 58 75 14 80 fc 00
ss:esp=00 08 00 00 02 00 87 91-00 00 02 02 00 00 00 00
System halted

Needless to say, this never happened with 2.2-STABLE or
3.0-RELEASE.
The MBR is OK because I can still boot into the DOS partition.

Obviously I've done something stupid.  I've read the handbook;
the "ELF day" page, and the "Notes on the new bootblocks" page;
I've tried fixing this from the fixit floppy, but right now
I'm stuck with an unbootable machine.  Please help!

Thanks
