IIRC, there is no way to do this (but my memory is based on stable/7).
 I extended some Isilon stuff to add a 'bootdev' command to the loader
that would allow for selecting alternate boot disks.  I can see about
dusting that off and making a patch against CURRENT, if there is no
current way to do what you ask.
