It is /boot/loader. There is a boot.tbxi that you can install too (and 
find in /usr/src/release/powerpc) that will let you use the OF boot menu 
to select FreeBSD if you are dual-booting.

We really need to make installation work better. Can we include a port 
of Apple's HFS implementation in base? I know APSL1 was impossible, but 
are there any thoughts on APSL2 now? Having HFS support should also be 
valuable on x86 with more people dual-booting FreeBSD/OS X now.

I suppose that writing a simple write-only HFS implementation should not 
be too hard, either. Maybe this could be hooked into gpart bootcode?
