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.

Hi,
this looks very promising!
While you are working on the loader front currently,
would it be possible to implement a Boot kernel.old
menue item that unloads all current loaded modules and re-loads
everithing from /boot/kernel.old?
Its difficult to handle manually in the loader (esp. handling
of the Boot Loader menu is a
more flexible method :
First select kernel , then select its booting structure with the above
described Boot Loader menu .
My opinion is that , they should NOT be COMBINED into one single menu ,
because , in the same system , even there may be other kernels to be booted
Selection (
let's call it Selection instead of Loader ) menu , such as GRUB or LILO , or ,
in FreeBSD , when Kernel Selection menu is selected instead of booting

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
