I've a lot of experience with KODIR, but no experience with KERNEL. I
was told it does what I want to do too, but I also was told that it is
used in previous major versions of FreeBSD in a different way.

Yes, this is committed to current, not to an older version of FreeBSD.
But FreeBSD 4 also has nextboot (even when it has a different syntax),
and having users which tell other users out-of-context to use KERNEL=xxx
and nextboot may result in frustated users.

Those are my quick thoughts about this. I don't mind if someone else
thinks we should use KERNEL instead and goes ahead and changes the
description.

Bye,
Alexander.
