12-r326622 install won't boot

Hello all,
I just blew away a old RELENG_11, to start working with current. I
must admit I had several disappointments regarding the installer.
But that's for another topic, and another time.
To the point;
I completed the install. The only event(s) that might be notable
during the install. Was early on during (boot?) I saw a "dumped core"
race past on the screen. I also experienced at least 1 LOR. But the
install continued, seemingly un(interrupted|affected). That said, I
chose the reboot option after completion. Ejected the DVD during POST,
and I'm stuck at:

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02
Consoles: internal video/keyboard

followed by 2 gibberish characters; 1 appears as a right pointing arrow,
the other, kind of like a battlestar galactca spaceship.
NOTE: those 2 characters did not show up on the initial reboot from
the install (just the 2 lines above). But after I attempted a hard
reset after the first fail.

Thank you for all your time, and consideration.

OK tried the installation again, and nothings changed.
Still left with the 2 lines listed above.

Guess I'll have to wait until 12-CURRENT becomes a usable version.
Sigh...
I was really hoping to run 12, so I could better develop 11.
Oh well. Guess I'll grab a copy of 11 off one of the ftp servers, and spin it
up.

Thanks anyway! :-)

I think a two-week old snapshot would work a lot better if you wanted to
make the jump to -current. I've botched something in my boot loader cleanup
and it's taking a little time to get sorted out...

OH, thank you *very* much, Warner!
Whew! Just in time, too. I had almost slipped the 11 DVD into the box.

Thanks again, Warner. Hope the things go well for you.

Spot on, Warner! r326056 gave me a working 12-CURRENT. Including all
the LORs. :-)

Thank you!

I have the same here. I just tried on a APU2C4 r326846 and, as I reported
in another
Consoles: internal video/keyboard
Nothing more.
The last known-good version is r326583. r326584 won't build, the same with
r326586 (bails
out with some errors in geli related stuff, I believe) and then the
subsequent versions
start to fail. I realised the issues on the serial console driven APU with
r326734 and I
tried to "bi-sect", unsuccessfully due to lack of time and resources down
to r326583.
The problem is with r326593. If you hack r326584 to build right then roll
forward, you'll get md5 identical .o's until 93. I'm investigating.
Obviously I'm not alone having issues with loader/boot loader and it would
be wise to put
out a warning for all the other brave CURRENT testers out ...
That's a good idea.
