Darrl, the prompt is just before the Ascii art.  If you look REALLY
carefully you will see that right after the memory count on your machine
is completed, the screen is cleared and you should see something like

F1 FreeBSD

Boot:

it will sit at this screen for like 3 seconds.  Just press enter and type
in the "boot /boot/kernel.old" (without the quotes).  This is part of the
Bootmgr.
