I have only noticed that beastie is replaced with "FreeBSD" in
default installation, but I am no expert regarding boot menu
changes. ;-)
Default behaviour afaik is to display "FreeBSD" - which you might
want to call a 'political correctness patch' (*), but this can be
changed - insert the following into your /boot/loader.conf:
loader_logo="beastie"
loader_color="YES"
to get the old beastie ascii-image back - and if required, even
in color.
