Moving this comment to a separate line fixes it. Another problem is that I've not figured out how to set a root password in the installer file tree for login after Shell is selected. Or rather, pw -V /usr/tftpboot/images/freebsd9-i386/etc usermod root -h 0 changes the password, but something still causes the system to show "Login incorrect" when it is entered.
