Assuming this works, you can type: > echo /boot/loader > /boot.config > And you're elf kernel capable. 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!
