I double-checked the kernel config file I used that generated the odd unbootable kernel, and found nothing unexpected. Running it through /usr/sbin/config and making it a third time resulted in a usable kernel. It's possible that something very strange happened, because I no longer can repeat the problem (which only happened twice). So I concede it could be one of the top two problems: operator error or hardware malfunction. Yike on me. Bully for FreeBSD! If it happens again, I'll try it on a different machine for verification before posting! A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers font to be sent to beneficiaries and senders of UCE/SPAM. @ mcs.net Wishes are like dishes.
