At a guess, you don't use /boot/loader?
The loader seems to be no longer optional, see
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=17422

This problem has been discussed several times in the "questions" mailing
list, and R. Ermilov kindly mailed 2 patches:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1186602+1196206+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-questions/2409.freebsd-questions

(While I'm at it, may I suggest that the patches be committed? I'm using
them for more than a month now on 4.0-Stable, and they work just fine.)

I don't talk C++, but I think you'll want "ISO/IEC 14882:1998
Programming languages -- C++", and in the USA you'll get it from the USA
standard body, which (I think) is ANSI. I don't know how ANSI handles
selling Standard copies, but http://www.ansi.org/ should tell it
somewhere.

The C++ FAQ talks about getting the Standard in

What you want is "ISO/IEC 9899:1999 Programming languages -- C"

Where and how exactly you can get the book depends on national
circumstances. The C Standard is an ISO Standard, hence distribution is
handled by the national standards organization which is associated to
ISO. Best might be to find your member body in
http://www.iso.ch/addresse/membodies.html and contact them how to get
ISO Standards. They will have a 'how to purchase' on their web page, I
assume.

I also recommend the FAQ: http://www.iso.ch/infoe/faq.htm ; you can
search for Standards on http://www.iso.ch/cate/cat.html

In Germany, ISO Standards are handled by 'DIN' (www.din.de), which has
passed the printing and selling matters to the publishing house 'Beuth
Verlag'. Hence, in Germany you buy the Standard as a book from Beuth
Verlag. It's quite expensive by the way, when we got it we had to pay
about 700 German Mark.

Have fun,
Bernd

The Standard itself is a book and can be bought as such in bookstores.
Draft versions are still available at the committee's web site,

There's a PR on it, including a patch. See
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=17422

The patch works for me just fine.
