for those of us who're booting off a stripped down freebsd and are not
using the 4th routines, are the above to be set before 'load /kernel' or
after 'load /kernel' ?

currently, loader.rc contains,

--- cut here ---
set console=comconsole
set hw.ata.atapi_dma="0"
set hw.ata.ata_dma="0"
set hw.ata.wc="0"
load /kernel
load -t mfs_root /mfsroot
boot
--- cut here ---
