Description Devin Teske freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-03-21 00:43:52 UTC 
When booted into the loader(8) interactive prompt (ok>), character addresses (c-addr) are showing up negative when using ".s" to display the stack contents.

Reproduce:

Press ESC at the boot loader menu to enter the loader(8) interactive prompt. Type the following at the "ok>" prompt:

s" hello, world!" .s

and then press ENTER. You'll notice that the first number is negative. Previous FreeBSD builds did not have this issue and it is confusing to see a negative number on the stack despite being a perfectly valid character address.

Is this still true? I get "unknown command".
