Well, this was an upgrade as stated in the title. The boot loader was  
installed one year before that, so when I first heard about this  
problem I thought it could be a regression in the boot loader, but I  
don't know anything about it. It could possibly be something that has  
been broken when Poul Henning switched from Makefile to shell script  
too.

I don't have any hardware to test it since I moved to Dublin some  
months ago. If you can, try to build/install a 5.3-R image with the  
old build system (Makefile) and with the new. TinyBSD images based on  
recent FreeBSD version is known to work on WRAP, so this might not be  
a boot loader issue.
