     Stefan later corrected the above line to say "edit /boot/loader.conf".

     Okay.  I've now tried that and gotten the same result.  Or more exactly,
I get the same messages at two different times during the startup.
     Any further suggestions of things to try would be welcome.  Also, an
explanation of what the error messages mean would be helpful, if anyone reading
this knows.  The message sequence again is:
