New 9.x install won't autoboot

I have an odd situation: I just installed a FreeBSD 9.1 system yesterday, and it always stops that the "Press [Enter] to boot" prompt without doing the 10-second countdown.

Prior to disabling the beastie menu, it would sit at the menu and wait for Enter.

/boot/loader.conf:
geom_mirror_load="YES"
beastie_disable="YES"
autoboot_delay="10"

I've checked /boot/defaults/loader.conf, and it matches that on a system that boots normally. Any ideas?
