The disk does have a /dev directory.  The system boots fine after you =
enter a return.  It hangs waiting for a return on the keyboard.

This last time I used in /boot/loader.conf:

zool# more loader.conf
verbose_loading=3D"YES"
boot_verbose=3D"YES"
loader_color=3D"NO"
loader_logo=3D"beastiebw"
autoboot_delay=3D"10"


System behaved the same on boot other than the menu was complete.  =
However, I did see something flash on the left bottom of the screen =
where the Autoboot message normally is.  It was cleared immediately =
after it was written so there was no way to read it.  Note, this is on =
the serial console.  I have not seen that before, but it might have been =
there.  It was just a flash.  I am wondering if something is doing the =
equivalent of pressing the space bar after the autoboot message is =
displayed.

I checked and the /boot/defaults/loader.conf file is identical between =
the system that works and those that do not.  I am going to see if the =
terminal emulator can disable the screen control functions so I can see =
what the message that flashes by is.
