chris,

i believe that's not important here as new loader does not even get to 
that point. and when i replace it with original 6.0-R, it works just 
fine. but anyway, here's my /boot/loader.conf:

# /boot/loader.conf : mato [26-nov-2005]

#verbose_loading="YES"

autoboot_delay="1"
#beastie_disable="YES"
loader_logo="beastie"

and here's /boot/loader.conf.local:

# /boot/loader.conf.local : mato [26-nov-2005]

#bitmap_load="YES"
#splash_bmp_load="YES"
#loader_color="YES"
vesa_load="YES"

#radeon_load="YES"	# ?

#sound_load="YES"	# auto loaded
snd_ich_load="YES"
speaker_load="YES"

cpufreq_load="YES"
acpi_asus_load="YES"

kern.maxusers="32"	# normally autoconfigured (but usually too high)
kern.cam.scsi_delay="2000"
#hw.ata.ata_dma="0"
#hw.ata.atapi_dma="0"
hw.snd.maxautovchans="4"

and here's my /etc/make.conf:

# /etc/make.conf : customised by martinko [13-nov-2005]
#
CPUTYPE?=pentium-m
#NO_CPU_CFLAGS= true	# Don't add -march=<cpu> to CFLAGS automatically
CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe	# userland settings
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe	# kernel settings
INSTALL=install -C	# Compare before install
#
NO_PROFILE= true	# Avoid compiling profiled libraries
MAKE_IDEA=  YES		# IDEA (128 bit symmetric encryption)
TOP_TABLE_SIZE= 101
#
#WITH_LAME= yes		# adds MP3 support (multimedia/nautilus-media)
#WITHOUT_CUPS=yes	# configures Gnome/KDE and some others to be built 
without CUPS
#WITHOUT_FAM=yes	# configures Gnome and some others to be built without FAM
#WITHOUT_X11=   yes	# tell ports not to compile X11 support if possible
