I missed the beginning of this thread, but boot2 (I think it
is) can read a file of commands from /boot/somewhere, and you
COULD write a script to put commands in that file.  Seems to
me that you might be able to get what you wanted from that.

I know that at one time I had mixed up some partitions on an
install of mine, and I used to "boot up" my -stable partition,
but I had that load in my -current system via this loader
config file in my -stable system.

Sorry this is so vague, but I only played with that loader
config file the one time, and that was nearly a year ago.
