And, for me at least, it craps out right about here. :-(

If you want a register dump, I can send it to you. FWIW, I'm having
the same problem with btx-boot (and the register dumps are startlingly
similar, the only differences are in the flags, stack pointer, and
base pointer, but it's the same set of instructions that died, and
the same data on the stack).

It also complains about /boot/loader.config missing, so I assume
that in these directions you meant /boot/loader.config, not
/boot/boot.conf.
