I did the download, now will copy it to the System Rescue CD USB stick and make the appropriate entry in syslinux.cfg . I don't think the Super Grub2 Disk was able to load the kernel. It led to a prompt like what I get when I escape from the boot menu to loader prompt. My image resulting from mkrescue in sysutils/grub2 built from FreeBSD ports worked on FreeBSD 10-head, now 10-stable. But I got the same failure on FreeBSD 9.2. I copied /boot/kernel/kernel from the hard-drive installation to /boot/kernel/kernel92 on the USB-stick installation. Then I was able to boot the USB stick, escape to loader prompt, then unload boot /boot/kernel/kernel92 -a -s (or without -s for regular boot, but I was upgrading from 9.2-prerelease). Now uname -a shows FreeBSD amelia2 9.2-STABLE FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE #19 r256095M: Tue Oct 8 08:57:11 UTC 2013 root_at_amelia2:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SANDY amd64 TomReceived on Mon Oct 14 2013 - 19:28:06 UTC
