It says:

>> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0X10000: 640/15104 K of memory
Use hd(1,a)/kernal to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed.
Usage: [[[fd(0,a)]/kernal][-s][-r][-a][-c][-d][-b]]
Use ? for file list or simply press Return for defaults
Boot:

Then, no matter what I do, it drops down a line, types |, then overtypes 
with /, then reboots.
