>Description:
When I've built new kernels in the past two weeks, when booting
them, it now hangs prompting me for the boot device.  I've not
touched the OFW env settings so I think the problem is sw related.
I do recall some discussion relating to "boot_dev" settings and
RAIDframe support resulting in a change... maybe this broke things
for us boring FFS users.  My kernel circa Sept 21st seems to boot fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build a kernel from -current and boot from an FFS based root.
