Below is what I >went thru to reboot a remote box from 5-CURRENT to 4.5. I can't explain or repeat that - the update flag is only supposed to affect whether making a boot selection from the boot0 boot manager (not boot0cfg) causes that selection to be made the default for the next boot. The "-s" flag should change the default slice regardless of the update/noupdate setting. The reason for saying that "-s" is useful with "-o noupdate" is because with the noupdate flag, "-s" is the _only_ way of changing the default slice, since booting from another slice does not change it. Could you investigate further what is happening here? If "-s" isn't always updating the MBR then there is a bug in boot0cfg, not in the documentation.
