I'm surprised it is present at all in 3.4's source code. Alas... maybe it is an old version that somehow was left alone by cvsup? Well, anyway, no one is maintaining that code. > I'd like the NAMEBLOCK feature so I can use nextboot. Is there a new > way to boot different kernels, or am I screwed? Indeed, nextboot is not supported anymore, though one can easily write a program to do what you want by changing /boot/loader.conf. Please refer to loader(8), loader.conf(5) and loader.4th(8) man pages for 3.x+ system bootstrapping. -- Daniel C.
