About two or three weeks ago, somebody
here asked, if there's a way how to change, which
os will be booted the next time.
I've written a program nextboot, which
overwrites the information about the last boot
stored in the partition table by the FreeBSD
boot manager.
You can get the program from
http://www.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~vmen3237/nextboot-1.0.tgz
