Appears this should be /boot/boot.config according to what the BIX messages
say.
My /boot/boot.config contains the following line
/boot/loader
And the message before the 10 second wait is that it can't find a
/boot/boot.config file. Placing boot.config in / yields the same result.
The ELF kernel boots fine after the timeout and even loads all my kld modules
just fine (conversion to kld from lkm was indeed fairly simple once it was
described how to do it). I now have an MPLS'ing & H.323'ing ELF kernel. Thanks
to everyone for all the hard work!
Yeeha! ;^)
Happy new year,
Chris
