>Organization:
The University of Tokyo
>Environment:
Revision 1.25.2.18 of src/sys/boot/forth/loader.conf

>Description:
The comma on the following line in src/sys/boot/forth/loader.conf
should be a semicolon.

#bootfile="kernel,kernel.old"   # Set the default boot file set




>How-To-Repeat:
put 

kernel="/nonexistent"
bootfile="kernel,kernel.old"

in /boot/loader.conf and reboot.
The loader complains it cannot load file "kernel,kernel.old"
even if kernel or kernel.old exists.

>Fix:
use semicolon instead.
