 Alexander,
     Have you tried setting kernelname to GCAM in your loader.conf
 before booting (it's not documented in loader.conf but it's a part of
 boot)?
     Another item I use to switch between kernels is symlink the suckers:
 
 $ ls -l /boot/kernel
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  17 Jan 13 17:35 /boot/kernel -> BAYONETTA.r217362
 
     This works well.
 HTH,
 -Garrett
