There also seems to be a bug with the new boot loader that if you bounce
out to the prompt and do 'boot kernel.other' the kern.module_path sysctl
is not updated. It still lists /boot/kernel first; but that should be
replaced by /boot/kernel.other.

There's really only room for one or two more menu items.
Perhaps some items could be moved to a 2nd level menu?
1) boot multiuser mode ( default )
2) boot single user mode
3) menu to set boot options
4) help
