No, you're not. I've been unable to get a bootable kernel running for the last few days also. Booting in verbose mode, I see the last thing that occurs just before the panic is mounting root and then starting (or trying to start) /sbin/init. After an initial "hang", it drops into ddb. -- Conrad Sabatier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - "In Unix veritas" To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
