I've just upgraded a box from 9.2-RC2-p1 to 9.2-RELEASE:
-----
% ls -l /boot/loader*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  229376 Oct  3 20:54 /boot/loader
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel    5884 Oct  3 20:54 /boot/loader.4th
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel      65 Jan  4  2013 /boot/loader.conf
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   14766 Aug 14  2012 /boot/loader.help
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel     393 Oct  3 20:54 /boot/loader.rc
-----

Does /var/log/messages show something interesting?
