Here is (retyped) what happens on boot: F1 FreeBSD Default: F1 BTX loader 1.00 BTX versoin is 1.01 Console: Internal video/keyboard Bios Drive A: is disk0 Bios Drive C: is disk1 BIOS 639kB/317444kB available memory FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8 (jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com, Sat Apr 21 08:46:19 GMT 2001) Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf Unable to load kernel: Aborted! / Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for a command prompt! Booting [kernel] ... can't load 'kernel' can't load 'kernel.old' Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. ok Here, I type "boot kernel.prev" and it will boot that kernel. I can't find any kernels with a date different than my original install date (except for one kernel.bak that I believe was created for me the day I upgraded). So, I'm guessing that there is no kernel for 4.4. That's pretty much everything I know to give you. Let me know if you need anything else.
