hello again,

i've just cvsuped to 6.0-stable and recompiled & reinstalled world & 
kernel and guess what ?!? -- loader is still broken!!!
this time my machine is not reset, it just hangs. and i had to boot from 
cd and replace loader with the original 6.0-R. :-(
this definetely needs to get fixed. i'll be happy to help someone more 
experienced, of course.

regards,

martin
