If I replace the old copy oof boot with the one that comes from 7.0 then an attempt is made to boot from a dvice called ld0 - which I never kne was there, which fails with a message about RAID, the master boot record and the size of the partition. I'm wholly out of my depth here. All I need is for the system to boot non-interactively from wd0 with root on wd0a, swap on wd0b and init from /sbin/init. Always happened automatically for me before.
