It looks like someone has transposed a dash for an underscore in the loader.4th and the menu.rc files for this package.  Downloaded today (2012-04-19) from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ 






>How-To-Repeat:
boot from FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso
>Fix:
#diff /wrong/loader.4th loader.4th
92c92
< include /boot/check-password.4th
---
> include /boot/check_password.4th


# diff /wrong/menu.rc menu.rc
8c8
< include /boot/menu-commands.4th
---
> include /boot/menu_commands.4th
