Subject:   Positional arguments/load command broken in boot loader; cannot load old kernel

I made the mistake of installing CURRENT on my file server at home this morn=
ing and thought I could just boot the old kernel, do a zfs rollback, then co=
ntinue on my merry way.

Turns out I was horribly wrong.

In addition to colors added to the boot loader (ooooh shiny!!!), it appears t=
he loading kernels with the load sub command from zfs pools does not work (l=
oad kernel.old, boot -s kernel.old, etc). Period. It works just fine with my=
 stable/9 kernel/userland, but not the CURRENT one.

Please fix this; I hate having to resort to grabbing install media to have t=
o fix my machines, and I'm sure you're going to have other devs and users ju=
mp down your throat about this.

Thanks..=
