I tried it with the trailing colon too, but that didn't make any difference. My setup is a bit complicated, so let me fill in the details. On da0a I have -current. On da0f I have -stable. I suppose the /boot/loader that's being used is coming from da0a, so maybe that causes problems for booting a -stable kernel. I even tried configuring the -stable kernel with an explicit "config kernel root on da0f" in the config file, but it still gives me da0a as the root filesystem when I boot it.
