I put the line "/boot/loader" in /boot.conf just like the docs said (http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html). However, I couldn't enter "-c" to enter userconfig to configure the kernel. When I entered -c at the "boot: " prompt, it didn't go into UserConfig mode, but continued booting (without me being able to configure the kernel). Also, how should rc.conf be handled in the case of an ELF kernel? I still need to load the screensavers, which are LKMS, something AFAIK an ELF system doesn't support. This is handled by rc.conf. But what would I need to do in order to enable something like a screensaver with an ELF kernel? BTW, there's a line in /usr/src/etc/defaults/rc.conf that states "rc.conf" is part of "rc_conf_files", which causes rc.conf to continue sucking in rc.conf in an infinite loop until the system runs out of file descriptors.
