        This is Xybernaut MA IV wearable.

>Description:

/boot/loader doesn't work on a Xybernaut MA IV.  It simply says

can't load 'kernel'
can't load 'kernel.old'

Moreover, when I try to ls from the loader prompt, it says

open '/' failed: no such file or directory

However, I can boot the kernel directly, and things work fine from
then on.

>How-To-Repeat:

Do a regular install of 4.3-RELEASE.  Reboot.

>Fix:

Install a boot.config with "kernel" in it.
