I see in the source that boot2 reads the /boot.config file.  Since it 
basically prints a line immediately after reading a command and I am 
not seeing that line, I suspect boot2 is not being used.  Here is 
what I see during the boot.

<BIOS stuff>  ends with:

Verifying DMI Pool Data ...........

F1    FreeBSD
F5     Drive 1

Default:  F1

-


It then sits there for a minute or so.  If I type a key then I get

>>  FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader
boot:

entering a -h there causes the serial console to work.

If I don't type a key then I get:

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console:  internal video/keyboard
etc.
