Check if /boot/loader.conf contains an entry to load the
alternate kernel file (that could be left in /boot during
the upgrade process).

Especially check for those:

kernel="kernel"         # /boot sub-directory containing kernel and modules
bootfile="kernel"       # Kernel name (possibly absolute path)

(taken from /boot/defaults/loader.conf)
