Giorgos Keramidas was kind enough to point me at the boot0cfg command 
and I had already tried the disklabel command, but my 5.4 system still 
won't boot.  The boot0cfg and disklabel commands executed fine, but it 
is still saying it can't find or load the kernel file despite it being 
in the correct directory on the correct slice.  Please point me to a 
howto or docs on how to repair an installation without wiping out all 
the files and packages I have already installed/loaded/configured on 
this system.  Thank you.
