It is possible that a new 3.2 /boot/loader file will fix the problem. I track -STABLE with cvsup, and I ran into something along this line when I compiled a new kernel using the STABLE sources without doing a concommitant "make world". (Which upgrades /boot/loader.) IIRC that is the error message I received. [elided] Bud Dodson -- M. L.
