Hmmm...
The last change to the FICL word "boot" was 10 years, 9 months ago, by dcs in
version 1.19 of sys/boot/forth/loader.4
There also seems to be a bug with the new boot loader that if you bounce
out to the prompt and do 'boot kernel.other' the kern.module_path sysctl
is not updated. It still lists /boot/kernel first; but that should be
replaced by /boot/kernel.other.

Hi Hackers,
I'm pleased to announce version 1.6 of my new boot loader menu software.
NOTE: Version 1.6 has the same look and feel as version 1.5. No new screenshots
needed.
This is a general cleanup with the below notable changes:
1. Change chkpassword.4th to query "password" environment varia

Eh? Maybe I misunderstand what you are saying, but:
set kernel=kernel.old

IMHO, it shows that you can tell the loader about kernels.

Hi,
this looks very promising!
While you are working on the loader front currently,
would it be possible to implement a "Boot kernel.old"
menue item that unloads all current loaded modules and re-loads
everithing from /boot/kernel.old?

Perhaps some items could be moved to a 2nd level menu?
1) boot multiuser mode ( default )
2) boot single user mode
3) menu to set boot options
4) help
