Read UPDATING and > follow the instructions carefully. I read /usr/src/UPDATING file, and I am afraid this issue has something to do with my partitioning layout. Right before boot2 I get this "No /boot/loader" error. After that, it starts loading /kernel and I get another error - "loader metadata missing". In /boot directory everything seems ok, all files are in the proper place, /boot/loader is 555.
