I tried the latest RELENG_7 sources, same result - does *not* boot even specifying the old loader. I spent a bit of time narrowing down why. I'd previously noted that an empty loader.conf was sufficient to get it to boot again. After some experimentation I discovered that this line in loader.conf:

sound_load="YES"

made the boot with the old loader fail (loading the sound module after booting seems to work ok).

The box is an Asus a8vx with amd64 x2 3800+, running i386.
