No, no idea.

My old kernel was built on sources from Feb 6. The old kernel works
just fine with the pnozz driver of date Feb 6. I have no reason to
believe it has something to do with the pnozz driver though, it
seems to appear when the scsi disks should be detected. I updated
all my sources so anything could cause it. Oh wait... I had trouble
with /src/sys/arch/sparc/sparc/autoconf.c, it wouldn't compile. I
changed it to two versions earlier. Might not work as expected. I
will just wait until whatever was causing it not to compile is
fixed, then I will try again. It looked as if it was being worked
on right now.
