That seems odd, but, in any case, the beastie menu is called from
/boot/loader.rc. The last two executable lines should be:
include /boot/beastie.4th
beastie.start

That should do it unless something is wrong with /boot/beastie.4th. You
might want to make sure that it matches what is in CVS. It should be
7007 bytes long and the md5 should be c6c84ce32045f1d9d34a46a78dcda61c.

I list updated my sources a couple of days ago, do it's possible that
something has changed since then.
