} 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.
