You put the boot.flp, kern1.flp, kern2.flp and then again the boot.flp. 
After you put boot.flp you must see the beastie-loader-screen. And there 
is a menu point (I think 6 Go to Loader prompt) you have to select. 
There you can do a "set [anything]" and a finally "boot". Note that your 
changes are only temporary for this one boot! You have to config 
/boot/loader.conf finally again.

With regards
Stevan
