I can't say what version of the loader it is that I'm using, but
(following Peter's advice, thanks), I've tried loader.old (about a week
old) and the latest loader (built yesterday), and both start. Where
each loader has a problem appears to be reading (include-ing?)
/boot/default/loader.conf . The spinner spins for a longer time than
usual, and then the loader gives up with the stack overflow.
Fortunately, I still got a prompt and am able to load the latest kernel
acpi and a what few other modules I need to boot successfully and reply
to your emails.
A quick look at /boot/defaults/loader.conf ( version 1.122.2.4
2008/11/24 00:52:26 ) shows
nothing out of the ordinary.
FYI: I'm using the Windows Vista boot manager with boot1 instead of
boot0, although boot1 doesn't appear to have changed since I first
installed 7.0 on my notebook.

After rebuilding world from 7-stable after cvsup, I can no longer boot.
The loader tries to load the kernel but instead locks up with a stack
overflow. Wish I could send more details, but I'll have to find another
way to boot up my system first.
just to identify the problem - what was the version of your
previous loader, and what kind of CPU do you have (Intel or AMD,
single or multi core) etc.
(to boot again you can replace /boot/loader with one taken from
an older 6.3 or 7.0 CD)
cheers
