Ahh, this is helpful.  You do see the '/boot.config: /loader' message.

I have no idea what you mean here.  However, it seems you don't have junk in
your 'opts' variable anyway.

Hmm, you could try adding some more debugging to boot2.c to see exactly what
is failing.  For example, does the first call to 'parse()' fail and clear
autoboot?

Oh, garbage in cmd[] could be bad.  We might read beyond the end of the file.
Try http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/boot2_cmd.patch
