What does 'ls' show at the boot loader prompt?

I remember having some problems in the past, locating the
sparc64 kernel. Maybe it was something like /boot/GENERIC/kernel
instead of /boot/kernel/kernel... Or something similar..., it's been
a while ago since I've installed FreeBSD/sparc64 from CD-R or DVD-R
on my Blade 1500 and Blade 2500... Locating the kernel with 'ls'
and booting it explicitly worked though.
