Fortunately, I leave at least two older versions of the kernel, and
/netbsd is alwys a symlink to the current one, so I was able to boot.

The problem is 100% reproductible, even with a new kernel I just compiled
this morning.

Symptoms :

While 1.6A works like a charm, 1.6B hangs at the very end of boot, after :

> root on sd0a dumps on sd0b
> root file system type is: ffs

Then nothing, even ADB led switches off after a few moments.

Is it related to the problems I recently read ?

BTW, is there any problem, running an up-to-date userland (I mean
obviously named & sshd) with 1.6A ?

Thanks,
