Can you try to recompile XFree86-4-libraries. It seems parts of that port are linked to libraries from previous versions of FreeBSD and it was not rebuild after FreeBSD upgrade?

I reverted this behaviour in xorg-printserver-6.8.2_2 until I (or someone) come up with proper rcNG script for starting Xprt. You can just remove /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/xprint.sh (or rename it to something like xprint.sh.off or remove executable bits) script so it does not get started as part of rc instead of upgrading xorg-printserver.

If you encountered the same error, this would be caused by either out of date imake or imake from Xorg distribution.

We also support two kerberos implementations, three different ghostcripts a number of desktop environments, just as example. I really don't see how this could be bad or how it complicates things. I could see where asking end user which X11 or which ghostscript he wants to use would be making things complicated, but there is one default to get out of the box. The alternatives are there for people who want to use those.

This log doesn't show X using nv driver. It however shows it is trying to load nvidia module twice, succeeding the first and failing the second time. After that, there is still line: (II) NVIDIA X Driver 1.0-7174 Tue Mar 22 06:54:34 PST 2005 which would come from 'nvidia' driver, so it seems to be loaded. This actually looks like a log from 'X -configure' run, which would indeed try to load all drivers and therefore also 'nv'. It would be more interesting to see log from running X server.

From the menu, you have to go to Fixit submenu and choose CDROM/DVD.

Hm, I'm afraid I have no idea why you can't boot from second slice. Still, I
would try fiddling with boot0cfg(8) or restoring boot manager - see
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#BOOTMANAGER-RESTORE
but do that from the most recent installation that you have on slices (if that
is the one on ad0s2 then perhaps by entering sysinstall from install cd). You
did manage to make your backups by now of course?
