No, sys/boot is built during world. Likely some change in /boot/
loader is
causing your problem. Can you narrow it down to a specific change
under
sys/boot?
Ok. I updated just the one file since it appeared like one of the few
changed files
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c
and rebuilt things with
cd /usr/src/sys/boot; make cleandir obj depend all install
and it was okay. No problems.
Then I did sync'd all of the changed files for /usr/src/sys/boot and
my machine is hung again at boot, so we have narrowed it down to
somewhere in /usr/src/sys/boot/.
Time to reinstall from a DVD and try it with finer granularity. This
will take some time.
There appears to be only four files that have changed in /usr/src/sys/
boot from June 8th (all working fine) to June 11th (dead in the
water). They are:
/usr/src/sys/boot/Makefile
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/Makefile
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/Makefile
I have ruled out bisodisk.c, as stated above.
That means that the Makefiles are building new stuff that previously
was not built, namely
zfsboot gptzfsboot
I believe it has to do with that. More help is needed! I am tired of
reinstalling the OS, but I am much more paranoid about updating my
other machine in any way now, as it could erase that whole machine. I
can't believe I am the only one seeing this...
