This turned out to be the simplest suggestion, and therefore wins a special prize*. What I actually did in the end was:

Sorry for replying to my own post, but it seems related. These systems, being SMP systems are using the bsd.mp kernel. I wanted to have the system boot into bsd.mp by default and I did this by:

# mv /bsd /bsd.up
# mv /bsd.mp /bsd

And I can tell it which one to boot into at the boot prompt:

boot > wd0a:/bsd.up
or
boot > wd0a:/bsd

I would have preferred to do this by telling it to boot bsd.mp rather than shuffling files around. I read boot.conf and boot man pages but was none the wiser. How do I point the bootloader at a specific kernel?
