I.E. you can also set unset verbose mode and ACPI with it. Some days ago there was a proposal on a PC-BSD list to add an option to boot a different kernel if one is found in /boot. Would it be possible to addi this function to your boot menu? Or even better work together with Kris Moore so we don't have two solutions for the same task?
