Hmm, look through /etc/make.conf

If I remember correctly 3.0-R uses an ELF userland, but an a.out kernel. To
use the ELF kernel one needs to update the bootblocks. This has been
discussed to death in either the questions, stable or current mailinglists.

I wish I could provide some pointers, but freefall seems to be down for
maintenance.
