There's a minor usability problem with FreeBSD loader.  E.g. if user runs
freebsd_module first, the error message is confusing.

  The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and
  how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
  still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."

	* loader/i386/bsd.c (grub_cmd_freebsd_loadenv, grub_cmd_freebsd_module)
	(grub_cmd_freebsd_module_elf): Abort with "You need to load the
	kernel first." when `kernel_type' is set to KERNEL_TYPE_NONE.
