The new problem only occurs when I do: >>>boot dka0 -flags a or >>>boot dka0 and enter ^D at the prompt which results in a 'hang' at the date.

Fri Dec 4 05:38:08 GMT 1998 [this is where it hangs] I have tried this with the following devices uncommented: sc0 sio0 sio1, but for this run, I had sc0 & sio1 commented out, and it did not make a difference. There are NO problems if I boot without any flag or do not issue ^D at the prompt and mount everything by hand.
