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

each loader has a problem appears to be reading (include-ing?)
/boot/default/loader.conf . The spinner spins for a longer time than
ok so the problem could be is a recursive assignment of loader_conf_files
in your previous installation (either as a result of the default
installation, or because of manual modifications).
Could you please send me a copy of your /boot/loader.conf and
/boot/defaults/loader.conf so i can check ?
A recent commit fixed the handling of loader_conf_files,
which previously was broken (in some cases assignments were ignored).
A side effect of the fix is that now certain errors in the config
files are now detected as such.
Having the following in /boot/loader.conf triggers it for me,
loader_conf_files="/boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf"
You may say thats its an invalid config line but the loader shouldnt
blow up from it. Can this be fixed up somehow?

Indeed, it would be nice if um someone (anyone, mind you) with commit
priviledges might put some descriptive comments around the
"default-only" settings in /boot/default/loader.conf...:)
