Hey, I recently upgraded from 6.3-PRERELEASE to 7.0-PRERELEASE. I had some problem with the ports, but I got that taken care of. Now I'm having another very odd problem. I originally noticed something odd when I tried to shutdown from multiuser mode into single user mode. I ran "shutdown now" as root in multiuser. It said it was shutting down, etc. But then, it gave me the normal multiuser login prompt. So then I tried rebooting completely, and that's where the big error came up: ----------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 (root@Mercury, Tue Jan 8 14:22:21 EST 2008) > \ \: unknown command - /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x29e868 data=0x2db8c+0x23814 syms=[0x4+0x34c10+0x4+0x43ef1] Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for a command prompt. Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel] in 4 seconds ... ----------------------------------------------------- Why it trying to run the command "\" ? Right before I did this, I rebuilt world, including the kernel. I installed the new kernel, and was moving down to single user to install world. Is my bootloader corrupt somehow? Thanks.
