--- Comment #3 from Tomoaki AOKI <junchoon@dec.sakura.ne.jp> ---
This is as intended. Not a bug.

bootcodes and loaders are NOT built on buildkernel, but buildworld.
And also, NOT installed on installkernel, but installworld.

So try buildworld and installworld. It should work.

If you don't want buildworld and installworld, you can
  cd /usr/src/stand
  make && make install
to update loaders.

Once you can confirm it, this PR can be closed.


A bit offtopic, but in ancient days, bootcodes and loaders were placed under
/usr/src/sys/boot, but not built on buildkernel, which was insane.
So /usr/src/sys/boot was moved to outside of /usr/src/sys, /usr/src/stand at
Nov.2017.
