I can repeat (again) what uname -a shows:


FreeBSD amelia2 9.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.2-PRERELEASE #17 r254196: Sun Aug 11 00:36:49 UTC 2013     root@amelia2:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SANDY  amd64

I just downloaded it, saving as loaderae, using your email username and initials as a suffix.

I assume loader works under a different name?

I can use "kfreebsd/loaderae" instead of "kfreebsd /boot/loader", and loaderae will be preserved over the next update from source.

Then I will want to test the new /boot/loader which might possibly work right with kfreebsd.

Or maybe I will have a newer kfreebsd.

Update: Actually there was a typo above:

I meant "kfreebsd /boot/loaderae" and not "kfreebsd/loaderae".

Anyway, I tried 

kfreebsd /boot/loaderae

and got the same thing as with

kfreebsd /boot/loader

was taken to a loader prompt where I could not access any files on the hard disk.

So again I had to reboot, this time from the USB stick and at the loader prompt typed
set boot_askname
