Is it printing "ASSERT <blah>", or "Assertion failed:"? The string "ASSERT" doesn't exist anywhere in the loader or libstand. If you want to add a pause after an assertion failure (not a bad idea really), do it in src/lib/libstand/assert.c. > In the meanwhile does anyone know what the problem might be.. > I'm recvsuping (I had to boot off a cdrom) and will recompile the > bootblocks, but some idea of the problem might be nice.. You *are* aware that you can boot loader.old by hitting a key while the spinner is paused, before the loader starts, right?
