Uh, so using grub to load the loader was the fix?  That isn't a
real fix.  Can you disable the beastie (beastie_disable="YES") and
the automatic boot (autoboot_delay="NO") in loader.conf and then
either use a serial console or a camera to capture the messages on
the screen when it loads the modules.  Then do a boot -v from the
prompt and save the output of 'dmesg' to a file after it boots.
Put that file up somewhere where I can look at it to see if there
were errors parsing the modules loaded from the loader.
