OK, I got a little further today. I'm typing all of this by hand
since there is no access to the keyboard on the system once I get
it to boot.
EFI Boot Manager ver 1.02 [12.38]

can't load 'kernel'
Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.

echo \007\007
autoboot 10
*** FILE /boot/loader.rc END ***
OK include /boot/device.hints
OK load /kernel
/kernel data=0x7dcda8t0x690a0 /
OK load -t mfs_root /mfsroot
OK set module_path="/modules;/dist"
{ I skipped the echo line and used boot instead of autoboot }
OK boot
The kernel loads and then the sysinstall program runs. At that
point the keyboard and mouse no longer work.
One interesting thing I saw, it appears the load command is
"smart enough" to append a ".gz" to the end of a filename
passed to it on it's commandline.
thanks for the assistance on this.
