I guess : boot2 is just too dumb to do the job. It's a shame, because loader is a : waste of space (IMHO) for many small FreeBSD applications. There are other reasons to use the loader. Some programs don't work quite right if you don't. If you don't need these programs (I forget which ones they are off the top of my head), then read on. However, you might want to go look at the patches I made to it in 3.x. I specifically didn't port them to 4.x because they weren't needed. you might be able to make things work if you add them to your code base and try again.
