Uh, so using grub to load the loader was the fix? That isn't a real fix. Can you disable the beastie (beastie_disable="YES") and the automatic boot (autoboot_delay="NO") in loader.conf and then either use a serial console or a camera to capture the messages on the screen when it loads the modules. Then do a boot -v from the prompt and save the output of 'dmesg' to a file after it boots. Put that file up somewhere where I can look at it to see if there were errors parsing the modules loaded from the loader. -- John Baldwin
