I'm also having some trouble booting (into single user mode, so as to run the installworld), at r264039. It seems that ciss never attaches, so my da0 (which is supposed to be on ciss0) does not appear. My kernel.old is much older, __FreeBSD_version 1100005, but does boot. However, attempting to boot kernel.old in either single-user mode or verbse mode also drops me to mountroot> . That would seem to indicate some hardware problem or timing issues more than a problem with the code itself, so I had been holding off on posting until I could get more information. Unfortunately, my serial console is not working at the moment, so getting more information is a bit challenging. Diffing the dmesg from the good and bad boots would probably be helpful for you to do. -Ben
