Don't post html to public lists.

Sounds like you have a version mismatch between /boot/loader and
/kernel.  Earlier 3.x /boot/loader versions can't boot later
kernels, even if both are ELF.  If you cvsupped the kernel
source, then cvsup again and get the /boot stuff source, then
remake the /boot files and a new kernel.  It _might_ work to just
copy in a later version of /boot/loader, but no promises.  The
preferred way is to have the complete sources on line and just
"make world".
