Trying to boot with a newly-built loader (make world earlier today from fresh sources) results in:
FreeBSD/alpha SRM disk boot, Revision 1.2 ([EMAIL PROTECTED], Wed May 15 08:01:43 CEST 2002) Memory: 262144 k Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/kernel/kernel data=0x283780+0x63670 / Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.

Clean tree, no funny stuff in make.conf (unless 'CPUTYPE?=ev56' counts as funny stuff) <guess type="wild">The loader problem is possibly a compiler issue (since DP1 was built with gcc 2.95 while my world was built with 3.1). The init problem is probably a UFS2 f*up; the code has obviously not been tested on a 64-bit architecture (the UFS2 stuff broke the kernel build).</guess> DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
