Hi all.

I just compiled -current and tried to boot in my computer. During the
boot, it stopped after some weird messages:

What could be happening?

FYI, I'm also pasting some dmesg output of my NetBSD 5.1 system,
installed on the same machine (it is a Dell Optiplex 780. I can provide
more information if you prefer (what commands?)).

Thank you.

Part of dmesg output in NetBSD 5.1 (there is some strange output but it
boots fine. The strange thing, though, is that my primary master HDD is
sd0, but any subsequent USB stick I connect is sd4, sd5 and so on):

I have just seen the same thing. The root filesystem is not at cd0a as
expected, but at cd0d. Type that at the root device prompt and see if
it doesn't help.

I remember seeing the ISO9660 filesystem move from cd0a once before. I
don't remember why, or what was changed to move it back.

This should directly reflect the (fake) disklabel the cd driver generates
for your medium (which is partly MD) - you can check after booting
with disklabel. Probably the partition type of cd0a is wrong.

Thank you, but... what about if the USB keyboard doesn't work in the
"root device" prompt? It works in ddb, though... Is it a know issue?
BIOS stuff? Any wordaround possible? A PS/2 keyboard would work, but
this computer don't have a PS/2 plug.
