 Old report: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=87775
 I know this was reported just yesterday.
 
 The fix says to try 6.0-RC1
 Which is what I'm running
 
 Machine is: G5 iMac
 I get the same problem
 
 Description
         The system will not boot the kernel. When you boot it displays:
         KDB: debugger backends: ddb
         KDB: current backend: ddb
         (in old report it has the fatal kernel trap...I don't get that message just the above)
 
 How-To-Repeat
         Boot from the CD.
         Hit enter to boot immediately when prompted
 
 Will reply with more information, Just ask what else you need me to do
 and run.
 
 Thanks, Happy to help FreeBSD :)
