Hi,
it would be great to be able to specify a fallback kernel in case
booting a new kernel fails - esp. if one needs to work on a remote

TIA!
Kind regards,

If you are talking about a new install over an old one and get an ERR M,
then no kernels are accessible. Different type of fix.
If you are talking about an upgrade then
cp bsd bsd.backup before install should do it.
Then use boot> boot /bsd.backup after a failed upgrade.
If you are using altroot, then you already have an old copy of / anyway.
