OK. I just answered your question on -hackers about updating your boot
code.

3.0-RELEASE had a default binary type of ELF. You can use the
objformat(1) command to check on your default, and a command like
file /bin/ls
to verify the format of your binaries. If you don't get ELF back
in response, you will have to looking at an aout-to-elf upgrade.
