Thank you.  Now we can start making helpful suggestions.  

Can you please boot into the installation, enter fixit mode, and
verify that /boot/loader is present on the disk.  You should be able
to mount /dev/da0a to verify that.  

BTW, I've never even *seen* a 3.3 CD-ROM, much less used one.  Does
anybody out there know if sysinstall is really broken enough to forget 
to put the loader on the disk?
