 Thanks, it seems so! Downloaded the binary package base.txz from
 https://pub.allbsd.org/FreeBSD-snapshots/i386-i386/10.0-HEAD-20121006-JPSNAP/ftp/base.txz
 - then extracted "loader", replaced with it the former one, and yes -
 the system can be booted quite normally, I can see the logo/menu etc.
 
 Nevertheless I suppose, that ability to add boot-time parameters would
 be helpful as "workaround" in such cases.
