Thanks for everybody's help - I now have a compiled kernel. It seems
to work fine until it loads init, and it then reboots. If I try to
boot in single-user mode (giving a -s), I do get a prompt asking me
which shell to load. But it will reboot after that.

Will the old init no longer work?

(I'm trying to upgrade from Aug 25 -current)

Thanks.
