Hello -stable:

What changed between 19 August & today (21 August) that would
cause a known-good-and-stable kernel config to not boot?

I updated Sunday 19 August, and as many times previously,
things were working ok.  But a few minutes ago I updated &
made a new buildworld, buildkernel & installkernel, & the new
kernel refuses to boot -s (or at all) so I can complete the
install (aka installworld).  The "complaint" is some kind of
verbosity about "can't find a boot-device" or "missing device
da(?)"  I do have device da, as I have for a long long time...
Sorry I can't explain it any better b/c I (so far) I can't
capture that message-stream.  It certainly never has done
*this* to me before...

I also tried another cvsup, in case maybe I was in the "middle"
of some updates; none...

Ideas?
