I got it to boot by using "0:wd(0,a)/kernel" at the prompt (wd instead of wfd). But to answer your question: No /boot/loader >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default:0:fd(0,a)/kernel boot: ? >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default:0:fd(0,a)/kernel boot: nothing happens when you type '?'. At first I thought it wasn't working at all because it wouldn't boot from fd0 nor wfd0, so I didn't think to try wd0 or even da0 (my system drive, which it'll boot also).
