-	  <para>The problem is that the application you are trying to
-	    run is looking for a specific kernel symbol, but, for whatever
-	    reason, cannot find it; this error stems from one of two
-	    problems:</para>

-	    <listitem>
-	      <para>Your kernel and userland are not synchronized (i.e.,
-		you built a new kernel but did not do an
-		<maketarget>installworld</maketarget>, or vice versa),
-		and thus the symbol table is different from what the
-		user application thinks it is.  If this is the case,
-		simply complete the upgrade process (see
-		<filename>/usr/src/UPDATING</filename> for the correct
-		sequence).</para>

-	      <para>You are not using <command>/boot/loader</command> to
-		load your kernel, but doing it directly from
-		<filename>boot2</filename> (see &man.boot.8;).  While
-		there is nothing wrong with bypassing
-		<command>/boot/loader</command>, it generally does a
-		better job of making the kernel symbols available to
-		user applications.</para>
