My system has 4 SCSI disks, W2K on disk 0, FreeBSD on 1, 2 and 3
(FreeBSD Multiboot installed on disk 0; disks 1, 2 and 3 all in
dedicated mode). At boot time, boo2 throws out a 'No /boot/loader'
messages, then proceeds to load the kernel normally.

So... I guess indeed I do not use /boot/loader, though not of my own
will.

Thanks for the pointers!
