I've recently found out that my problems related to
the question I asked earlier (top/vmstat/systat
refusing to work) could be cause by boot2 loading the
kernel directly, instead of letting "loader" handle
it.

I looked closer at the boot process and noticed that
right before boot2 presents me with an ability to load
the kernel, I get a "No /boot/loader" error. When I
type "boot" at the boot2 promt and it starts loading
the kernel, there is also a "loader(8) metadata
missing !" error. However when I cd to /boot, I see
loader.conf, and other related files. What could
possibly be wrong ?

Sincerely,
Dan Naumov
