Hello,

I updated to today's 8-stable, and now my C7 diskless test-box
wonn't boot multiuser anymore; it solidly hangs after the following
lines :

  No suitable dump device was found.
  Entropy harvesting:.
  Fast boot: skipping disk checks.
  mount_nfs: can't update /var/db/mounttab for 172.16.1.7:/raid1/pxeboot/root
  Starting Network: lo0.
  Mounting NFS file systems:.
  /etc/rc: WARNING: Dump device does not exist.  Savecore not run.

and I cann't break into the debugger (Ctl-Alt-d is supposed to work
under serial console as well? (sorry, long time ago I did
these kind of things))

8.0-beta2 works OK

I can provide tcpdump for the nfs-server

thanks, best, Arno
