It fails right away in the booter with "bad format"   I am just now re supping everything and doing a clean make to see if that helps, but I don't understand what is wrong. I recently moved everything over to a bigger disk, and did a newfs on it since for some reason the mac mkfs utility wouldn't make a file system that fsck liked.

More on this. 

I've gotten the newest booter, ftp'd GENERIC_57 from puma and everything works fine, except kernels I compile locally.

I rm'd /compile/GENERIC and started fresh with a completely resupped set of kernel sources, but still I get 'bad format'

I'm at a loss.
