}  Hmm... doesn't "nextboot" do what you want?

Nop. It doesn't matter what I put in the nextboot strings, it just boots
from the default /kernel. According to the man page:

	nextboot -b  /dev/rwd0 1:sd(0,a)/kernel.experimental wd(0,a)/kernel.old

I changed it to :

	nextboot -b  /dev/rwd0 1:wd(0,a)/kernel.test wd(0,a)/kernel

Nothing happenes.
