How can I verify that I have a new loader?  Where is it located?

My /boot directory contains:

bob@obiwan-p3 /boot> ls -l
total 294
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel     512 Apr  4 09:59 boot0
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel     512 Apr  4 09:59 boot1
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel    7680 Apr  4 09:59 boot2
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  131072 Apr  4 09:59 loader
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   11462 Mar 27 21:12 loader.help
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  131072 Mar 27 21:12 loader.old

The Apr 4 09:59 timestamp was the time of my make installworld.  Is
there somewhere else that it might be picking up an older version of the
loader?

Thanks,
Bob
