Subject:   Problem booting -current via /boot/boot1 from GRUB

My -current box is set up to use GRUB to allow me to either run FreeBSD
or Linux.  A while back, I added a third option to allow me to boot
FreeBSD with a serial console and just happened to make this the
default.  Once I had this working, I turned just turned the serial
console mode on and off by editing /boot/boot.config.  The documented
way of booting FreeBSD from GRUB is to use the command "kernel
/boot/loader", but this stage of the boot sequence is too late to enable
the serial console mode (because boot.config is read by boot2), so I've
been using "chainloader /boot/boot1" instead.

This had been working fine for months now, but broke sometime in the
last week.  It looks like the recent changes to boot1 and boot2 are the
problem.  Now all I get is a register dump followed by a "BTX halted
message".

Booting via the "kernel /boot/loader" method works fine.
