I'll be damned if I let a few glitches keep between me and my new shiny
BSD box.

Also, any help I can provide to you is the least I can do for you guys
making and peddling such an excellent OS.

Anyhow, after that, and using the line that works, we're back to the
FreeBSD bootstrap loader.

All goes well and then the line :

can't load ´kernel´

... and then it drops me into the equivalent of a GrUB shell with the

I'm really not understanding this.
