Default bootstrap loader
Anyone know what might cause this? What file is it reading from?

Most likely, you've messed up /boot/loader.conf

You'll need to boot from CD to fix it.

Yea, that's what I thought, but I deleted /boot/loader.conf and it still happens. Also tried /boot/default/loader.conf -> /boot/loader.conf

Any other files it could be? Happens with GENERIC too.

Just a follow-up on this in case anyone has the same issue. This will happen if you don't build forth. That is, have this in your make/src.conf:

Code:
WITHOUT_FORTH=YES
Exclude that or set to no, rebuild and will resolve it.
