1. That's not an answer to my question. 2. Alas, gag does not appear to offer a command line tool that can pre-choose an alternative boot slice prior to remote reboot. I'm looking for something along the lines of FreeBSD's boot0cfg and am looking into porting it. I recall Marco mentioning that fdisk can be used to choose slices or something. Will investigate. Don't get me wrong, "lots of icons" is nice and all for some situations. Michael.
