The only thing I can think of right now is for you to do a binary
search of the sources between your Jun 7th 6-CURRENT and 6-BETA1 to
find out when this broke the kernel for you.  Make sure to backup the
working kernel, just incase a kernel fails to boot.

NOTE: 6-CURRENT became RELENG_6 on Thu Jun 16 18:16:12 2005 UTC. So
you will need to change the CVS tag to RELENG_6 after this date/time.
