Hello, The error you are seeing is caused by the boot loader looking in the wrong place for the kernel. Try this command at the boot prompt: boot: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel My guess is the error you see will change to "Invalid Format". I saw your post the other day and cut the power to a 5.3 test box to see if the same thing would happen. It did. I think something happened to your and my systems that prevents the boot loader from recognizing UFS2. Here are the things I have tried so far. I booted into FreeSBIE (www.freesbie.org) and ran fsck to fix the filesystems. The / filesytem reported clean, but /home and /var had amazing numbers of unrecoverable errors and bad blocks. But I still got the "Invalid Format" error. So I put the drive in another 5.3 system and everything in / _seems_ readable. Right now I am running a surface diagnostic on the drive to see if the platters are damaged. That will not be finished until sometime tomorrow, but so far over half the disk has been checked and reports as undamaged. I will report the results of the completed test. I will run the "power outage test" several times to see if the same problems appear each time. Those results will be posted when finished.
