Ah, OK.  Yes, that would also work, but only if you have
the boot manager installed.  (Strictly speaking it doesn't
change the active slice, which will always be the FreeBSD
slice, but it changes the slice that will be booted in turn
by the boot manager).

Hmm...  I still wonder why there is "s:" in the getopt(3)
string of bsdlabel(8).  It seems to be a leftover from the
boot1/boot2 stuff that was removed in r1.75 of bsdlabel.c.
Maybe I should submit a PR.  :-)

Best regards
   Oliver
