This parameter can be used to the "make installkernel" command,
for example in a workflow like this:
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=TESTKERNEL
# make installkernel KERNCONF=TESTKERNEL KODIR=/boot/testkernel
Plus the corresponding settings in /boot/loader.conf:
kernel="testkernel"
bootfile="/boot/testkernel/kernel"
kernel_options="foo bar blah"
See /boot/defaults/loader.conf for details.
For booting test kernels, you might also find the nextboot command
very helpful; read "man nextboot" for more inspiration.
