defining CPUTYPE=athlon64 in /etc/make conf renders loader unusable: it builds
with athlon64 optimization, and crashes (reboots) immediately. The following
patch fixes the problem for me.

The following > patch fixes the problem for me.I had the exact same problem with CPUTYPE?=athlonxp on an i386 system several months ago: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-October/040493.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-October/041981.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-November/042127.html I've just been running without CPUTYPE defined as I didn't know what steps to take to debug it and didn't get a response to help. I can test and debug this if someone will help me out.
