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@amelia2:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SANDY amd64
