My -current box is set up to use GRUB to allow me to either run FreeBSD or Linux. A while back, I added a third option to allow me to boot FreeBSD with a serial console and just happened to make this the default. Once I had this working, I turned just turned the serial console mode on and off by editing /boot/boot.config. The documented way of booting FreeBSD from GRUB is to use the command "kernel /boot/loader", but this stage of the boot sequence is too late to enable the serial console mode (because boot.config is read by boot2), so I've been using "chainloader /boot/boot1" instead.
This had been working fine for months now, but broke sometime in the last week. It looks like the recent changes to boot1 and boot2 are the problem. Now all I get is a register dump followed by a "BTX halted message". Booting via the "kernel /boot/loader" method works fine.
