Using the new loader should be as simple as
cd /sys/boot
make
mkdir /boot
make install
though you should restore your standard boot blocks (ie. don't use
btxboot). Then type
/boot/loader
at the regular
boot:
prompt.
There's more to it than this, involving /boot/boot.conf files, and
so on, but that should get you started.
