RE: kernel panic

I tried testing this. Added
LOADER_FIREWIRE_SUPPORT=yes in /etc/make.conf
(cd /sys/boot/i386 && make clean && make && make install)shutdown -r now
All was great it the loader worked!
 
To test this wasn't my imagination:
I took that line out of make.conf 
(cd /sys/boot/i386 && make clean && make && make install)shutdown -r now
 
And got same problem system not booting.
 
Good catch pluknet, hopefully we can get this code compiled into the loader as a mandatory fix
for now.
