f697065fda Add a try-include word (which acts the same as "include") and use it to
conditionally include (but ignore failures) /boot/loader.rc.local and
/boot/menu.rc.local -- to make customizing the menu easier.

ea1ed0c224 Defer loading of kernel and modules if the beastie menu is enabled. Add a
kernel selection menu to the beastie menu. List of kernels is taken from
`kernels' in loader.conf(5) as a space (or comma) separated list of names
to display (up to 9). If not set, default value is "kernel kernel.old".
Does not validate that kernels exist because the next enhancement will be
to allow selection of the root device.

5f3c4bd1d7 Revert changes to this file in r222417. This unconditionally enabled the
boot menu on all platforms, which breaks loader completely on at least
powerpc for reasons that are not understood yet.

6550c6569b The 'start' command processes loader.conf variables, not loader.rc.
Fix comment to match.
