I read /usr/src/UPDATING file, and I am afraid this issue has something
to do with my partitioning layout. Right before boot2 I get this "No
/boot/loader" error. After that, it starts loading /kernel and I get
another error - "loader metadata missing". In /boot directory everything
seems ok, all files are in the proper place, /boot/loader is 555. Could
this be any sort of limitation in machine's BIOS ?
