I do 'dual boot' by first installing a copy of the new root
(kernel, etc. bin, sbin)
in my 'working' partition.. (e.g. /b, /u1 or whatever)
and typing sd(0,g)/kernel.
I mount /usr directly, if I don't have room to have loaded that as well
(though I usually do)

that leaves the root totally untouched till I'm happy with the new one..
then I can mount the old one and over write it..
