I am still exploring what is new/changed in this revision (besides a broken zfsloader), and I do have mprime back to work for the time being, so reverting can wait another day. I have reverted a few times in the past, but was always able to start that from the boot menu. This time really threw me until I received a reply to my plea for help telling me how to use the previous loader to get to the boot menu. I had already successfully run the r347183 kernel in single-user mode, so I figured I could do so again. What broke the zfsloader was the installworld step. After reverting to r345498 I will try bringing my source tree up to date, which would be quite a bit later than this broken r347183, and then run a fresh buildworld and buildkernel anyway. If all that fails, then I'll just go back to r345498 again and sit it out until 11.3-RELEASE happens before trying again. Scott Bennett, Comm.
