Feature request: I would really like to be able to do something like this:

# reboot -k test -s

to boot /boot/test/kernel into single user mode on the next boot. 
Alternatively:

# nextboot test -s
# shutdown -r now

would work, too.  Also, since I tend to use shutdown, having a nextboot
command that just sets up the loader state rather than sticking this
functionality into reboot(8) would be nice. :)
