Description

This happens when using a loader compiled with CCVER=gcc44. Menu comes
up and all, but when you hit boot it starts loading kernel and then
after <1 second the box reboots. I don't think the loader finishes to
load kernel, but it is hard to see.

Do you (or anybody else, for that matter) know if this works ok on i386 and is an
x86_64-specific problem?

I can try when I get home. I have i386 gcc44 built and just need to
installworld.

It works on i386.

And the i386 loader, gcc44 built, works on x86_64 too.

/usr/src/world_i386/usr/src/sys/boot/pc32/loader/loader <-- this works
on both i386 and x86_64
/usr/src/world_x86_64/usr/src/sys/boot/pc32/loader/loader <-- this don't

I believe it has been fixed on master.
