I just upgraded a test machine from 2.2.7-STABLE to 3.0-CURRENT aout from
source. For the most part that worked. Now with a freshly compiled GENERIC
kernel it gets stuck at:

    root@webber.ingress.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC

real memory  = 67043328 (65472K bytes)
config> autocheck gives assize=0  asp=0

until I hit Enter or q a couple of times. Specifically if I hit Enter once I
get the following line:

do quit

Hitting enter again produces:

quit
avail memory = 62263296 (60804K bytes)
Probing for devices on PCI bus 0:

... and so on and the machine continues to boot normally.

This is disturbing cuz I can't rely on the machine rebooting unattended. Any
idea why the kernel is dropping into the USERCONFIG editor when I haven't
asked for it? The GENERIC file was CVSuped Nov. 4 02:06.
