Description Bernd Luevelsmeyer 2000-04-04 13:50:00 UTC 
	
        When starting 'top' or 'systat', they fail with 'top:
        nlist failed' or 'systat: nlist: can't find following
        symbols: _cp_time _ccpu _fscale'. They fail whether
        I'm root or not.
        'swapinfo' also fails.
        I have procfs in the kernel, and it's mounted too.
        As sheldonh@uunet.co.za advised in freebsd-questions,
        this effect doesn't happen when I don't have a '/boot.config'
        with '/kernel' in it.

Fix: 

Don't bypass /boot/loader (workaround)
How-To-Repeat: 
	
        a) echo '/kernel'>/boot.config
        b) reboot
        c) (log in etc.)
        d) systat
