Lockup during boot

[Wm Brian McCane]

Howdy,

	I am trying to upgrade 5.0-CURRENT from Mar 25, 2003 to a current
cvsup of 5.2-CURRENT from this morning.  I have completed the buildworld,
buildkernel and installkernel.  Now when I do a 'boot -s' to do the
'mergemaster -p', the machine stops after it completes the check for SCSI
devices, which is (on the 5.0-CURRENT), just before it mounts the root
partition.  I was wondering if the problem is with the old UFS1 root
partition which I have been using since sometime back in the days of 2.x
or 3.x.  However, I think this is also when all the output starts getting
piped to the serial ports so I suppose it could be going to serial console
mode as well.

any suggestions?
