If you're building kernels from source you might try installing like this:
# make installkernel INSTKERNNAME=kernel.test
# nextboot -k kernel.test
# shutdown -r now
so if the new kernel (installed to /boot/kernel.test) panics and reboots, the
system will boot back into the old kernel without intervention in single-user
mode. Be sure to try this before updating userland.
