/boot/loader.rc contains:

  load /kernel
  load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf
  autoboot

Hmmm...  /boot.config doesn't exist.  During the boot process, I see:
  changing root device to wd0s1a
Would that mean that I need "0:wd(0,a)kernel" instead?

Anyway, boot(8) says that /boot.config is used to bypass the third stage of the 
new boot process.  What I really want to do is make the third stage run as it 
used to, and hopefully find out why it stopped working.
