Yes, I do! I was loading a screen saver with the boot loader. And
now I see I am wrong about rebuilding the loader!  When I had success
loading the kernel directly, I moved loading the screensaver into
rc.conf instead.  Then I thought that something may be wrong with the
loader, rebuilt it, and booted successfully.

I broke the rule - never change more than one thing at a time :)

I put the screen saver back in loader.conf and the boot failed again,
so it is a loader/kernel issue, but I didn't have to rebuild loader.
