I'm resending this email as I got no response the first time.

After over 3 years of uptime, I decided to upgrade one of my SUN boxes =
to 9-stable. However the new kernel didn't boot because of geom =
integrity check issues. This I understand as I remember I had to use =
some weird tricks in the past to get the entire disks used in the first =
place.=20
Anyway, I felt lucky this was a known and documented problem, with a =
workaround:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/relnotes-detailed.html#AEN1277

However, the workaround doesn't seem to work :-(

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK set kern.geom.part.check_integrity=3D"0"
OK boot
jumping to kernel entry at 0xc0070000.

this is where it hangs, just like without setting =
kern.geom.part.check_integrity.

Is this a regression?
