"setrootbyname failed" leads to "ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp" on boot.

Hi,

It's been a while and I guess that's a good thing. I recently tried
updating a CURRENT system from April 4th sources to bleeding edge HEAD
(Sources pulled from CVS at Sun Apr 25 16:50:55 UTC 2004, an hour ago).

I'm getting the following at the bottom of a boot -s -v (I haven't run
installworld yet):

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6

Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device>  Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
                       eg. ufs:da0s1a
  ?                  List valid disk boot devices
  <empty line>       Abort manual input

mountroot>

I can revert back to the old kernel without any problems, so I don't think
that it's something about my /dev/ad4s1a slice that's causing this. I've
read UPDATING and I don't see anything of particular relevance. The
machine in question is a custom built Dual Athlon MP 2000 running on a
ASUS A7M-266D with all of the peripherals listed in the attached boot -v.

Any ideas before I start binary searching for the latest bootable kernel?
