Hi Devin,

PC-BSD also has a slightly patched loader menu compared to the stock
FreeBSD version. I.E. you can also set unset verbose mode and ACPI with
it.
Some days ago there was a proposal on a PC-BSD list to add an option to
boot a different kernel if one is found in /boot.
Would it be possible to addi this function to your boot menu? Or even
better work together with Kris Moore so we don't have two solutions for
the same task?
