No, the os-bs that I tried was "2.08 beta".  Also, the version of the
standard FreeBSD boot manager at the above url appears to be the older
one that doesn't work either (same timestamps and sizes).  I suspect
that the problem is that the older boot managers can't boot partitions
beyond 8GB on the disk.
