Hmm, the string "ASSERT" doesn't appear as a text string anywhere under
/sys/boot.  Hmm, libstand does have it, and the ficl library seems to use it.
A serial console would save the message so you had time to read it. :)  If you
want to introduce a sleep, then sys/boot/i386/loader/main.c has an exit()
function you could put a while(1) or some such in.  Are you sure you don't have
your loader and 4th scripts out of sync?
