Thanks for the quick reply.

I moved the setting to /etc/sysctl.conf and this did result in the debugflags 
being set correctly.  Unfortunately, though, it appears this occurs too late 
to see geom debug for the boot process.  (Which makes sense since geom is 
probably needed to read in sysctl.conf.)

I guess this is just something that cannot be done without console access to 
the loader prompt?

Thanks again.
