Much as I hate to sound like Charles Hannum, this isn't my experience. 
From June 2nd, I've had 0 problems with disc turds, and halt has NEVER
rebooted before halting.  I'm just a very happy (albeit quiet) bunny.
Indeed, from about July 2nd, if fsck found problems on /, it hasn't
even necessitated a reboot.

From early April, it's been quite easy - just install the new includes,
(if pax dumps on you, then change bsd.own.mk to use a symlink), make a
new config, config your kernel, reboot on the new kernel, and then do
lib, bin, sbin, usr.bin, usr.sbin etc.

This is just a warning message from the ie driver - it hasn't found
anything during autoconfig, and so can't map it. Ignore it.

PS. Anyone fancy Snapshot Reports again?
