FreeBSD 7.0 bootloader error

[Andrei Frunza]

Nevermind, my problem was related to my src.conf file - I've enabled
the WITHOUT_FORTH option without really knowing what am I doing.
Basically this option disables some bootloader features that are
needed in order to actually show up the boot menu, kernel output blah
blah.
