Hello all.

First: big apologize.

Me stupid used a set of oldish and outdated FreeBSD boot images and I thought I
had the right ones at hand. They were 10.X and 11.1. Recent CURRENT as of 25th
January as well as most recent CURRENT compiled by myself works without
problems.

Kind regards

Oliver

p.s. Thanks for all the answers.
