ok from what ive figured out is that kernel option WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT
is highly unsupported for the 5.x kernel
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/Makefile?rev=1.34&content-type=text/plain
my usual suggestion is to use the driver from nvidia.com, nvidia is very
friendly to the open source community - so they have drivers for
freebsd. ive used it myself and agp support works great.
now - for actually getting back into your system:
do you have a back up kernel handy in your operating system?
i know depending on how things are orginally set up when you install a
new kernel
the makefile copies the original kernel folder (/boot/kernel) to
/boot/kernel.old and
/boot/kernel is replaced with the new one.
when you boot up freebsd and you get to the boot screen - select option
number 6. then
enter the following commands:
>unload
>load /boot/kernel.old/kernel
>boot
let me know if you make it into the OS and if you do - be sure and
remove that nvidia option!
ok i hope this help let me know of your status.

All:
I updated my nvidia drivers from the ports collection (Using the
WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT option to add support for my GeFroce2 GTS).
During the upgrade process, my machine rebooted on it's own and now
when I boot I get the following error message:

Anyone have any ideas?
