I did some more investigating and can't now reproduce the above behaviour. Entering either "boot -s" to the FreeBSD loader or "boot -fl s" to the SRM do the same thing. I haven't touched my SRM and that part of elf_exec() hasn't functionally changed for more than 2 years so I have no idea how I came to the above conclusion.
