# In /boot I did

cp -Rpv * /usb/boot

#I'm not sure why it can get as far as the BTX loader 
#info, but can't manage to load the kernel.  It
clearly
#can read the ufs2 now. I don't really know much about
#the specifics of the startup process, but I thought 
#as soon as the loader was invoked, the first thing it

#tries to do is load the kernel into memory.  I just
#double checked and the kernel is located on the stick
#at USB/boot/kernel/kernel.  This must have happened
to #someone else before.

p.s. just a shot in the dark, but does anyone think
grub might not be able to load the kernel because it
runs out of some kind of internal allotment of memory?
