> You might check out the logic in the excellent sysutils/beadm port.

Thank you for the suggestion.
beadm has some bugs regarding subordinate support.

> It's all shell and doesn't actually need rc support or even use it.

I do not see why beadm would need or use rc support given that it is an
administration utility.
My rc script is for filesystem mounting during boot.

> However, loader(8) support for selecting a boot environment would be really useful.

It is there, although not very obvious and not properly documented.
