Add me as number 5 in the meantime. When I upgraded to -current from
0.9, I tried to boot a foreign -current kernel. The time it crashed on
bootup, the second time after a real reset (switch-off-switch-on) it
came up, and crashed during the work and managed to scatter various
blocks all over the disk (including parts of an OS/2 partition it didn't
own). I returned to the 0.9 driver, changed some insignificant parts
(prototype warnings), and now there is one an 'extra interrupt' during
bootup, and everything works fine.
