8.2 system fully updated as of 2011.12.14
it can reboot quite happily
csup to RELENG_9
make buildworld
make kernel
boot single
root mount waiting for: usbus4
uhub4: 8 ports with 8 removable, self powered
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mirror/boota [rw]...
mountroot: waiting for device /dev/mirror/boota ...
Mounting from ufs:/dev/mirror/boota failed with error 19.
neither 9 nor 8 would boot without ending up here
the only way out was via loader
OK unload
OK load boot/kernel.old/kernel
OK load boot/kernel.old/geom_mirror.ko
OK set kern.geom.part.check_integrity=0
OK set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
OK boot -s
this would only work with the 8.2 /boot/kernel.old but not with the
9.fresh /boot/kernel
