The handbook chapter on the Boot Manager and boot stages includes section 12.3.3.2 describing the loader built-in commands. The description for the 'boot' command describes the optional kernelname parameter, but does not mention that this parameter is overrided if there is already a kernel image loaded. (The correct procedure to boot a different kernel is mentioned later in the page, though.) Fix: The patch available here is also inlined below: http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb.mit.edu/user/kaduk/freebsd/patches/chapter.boot.diff.20090112 --------------- begin patch here -------------- How-To-Repeat: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-blocks.html
