I just want to say I have similar problems trying to boot up a
hp-9000/350 on kernels compiled from current tarballs.  I've tracked it
down to right where /etc/rc does the mount -nonfs (just after fsck).

At this point, I just let it savecore and go back to booting up a 1.0
kernel.

I did try and compile a kernel that didn't have MFS in it, but it would
then panic a few seconds after the mount stage, and would also panic if I
tried to go into single-user.

The 9000/350 in question has been booting off of hp-ib devices ( rd0) --
it has 2 others but I leave them off as back-up boot devices. I want to
try and install -current on one of them as soon as I get a -current kernel
that doesn't panic on boot-up.
