Now we can start making helpful suggestions. Can you please boot into the installation, enter fixit mode, and verify that /boot/loader is present on the disk. You should be able to mount /dev/da0a to verify that. BTW, I've never even *seen* a 3.3 CD-ROM, much less used one. Does anybody out there know if sysinstall is really broken enough to forget to put the loader on the disk?
