Important Notice for PC-BSD 9.1 32bit users: Stakes and Realities.



The team of PC-BSD announces that a number of PC-BSD 32bit users have reported problems booting their systems after applying the latest FreeBSD update patches.
Therefore they have found the problem and now you can fix it manually following the directions below:
 If your system has run into this issue, and can no longer boot, you can
fix it with the following steps:

1. Boot your 9.1-Release DVD / USB media to the installation screen


2. Right-click on the desktop to open "xterm"

3. Mount your PC-BSD partition:

   # mount /dev/ada0s1a /mnt
   (Replace "ada0s1" with the disk name / partition number)

4. Copy the original /boot/loader file
   # cp /mnt/boot/loader.old /mnt/boot/loader

5. Unmount and reboot

   # umount /mnt
   # shutdown -r now
NOTE: At this time it *only* seems to be hitting users of 9.1-Release on
32bit / i386.
