Hmmm, the first time, I always do a kernel compile in a clean compile directory since I will always rm -rf /usr/src/sys/compile/ASTRO after every kernel compile and I did do the make world before the kernel compile so that should have rebuild the /usr/sbin/config binary and I even rm -rf /usr/src and then resupped everything just to be sure. Is there a way to debug the problem since it can't even log it to the /var/log/messages file as everything is just core dumping.
