Simply copy the <loader> file in that directory to the root of your HFS partition (using Mac OS) and then you can boot from that partition. For example if the HFS partition is number X and your FreeBSD root partition is number Y, the following command will do it: 0> boot hd:X,loader hd:Y Hope that helps, Marco.
