Errm. /boot/loader doesn't reside in the 2nd stage, does it?
I mean, there is a boot menu (the Forth-run thing with the ASCII
daemon). If that's running in protected mode already, then one could
jump back to real mode and boot into the selected disk/partition from
there. I can't really see the problem?
Alternatively, I'd just not display the ?? for "unrecognized"
partitions. Just present the disk/partition choice with perhaps the
FreeBSD partitions marked and the others unmarked. But "??" really
looks like an error (and while at that, remove that horrible *BEEEEEEP*
please).
mkb.
