So it turns out you can set kern.geom.debugflags from loader.conf.  The 
gvinum mirror problem I was trying to debug was causing the problem. 
Edits to loader.conf were only being written to the second disk, but the 
loader was reading the first disk during boot.  After manually copying 
/boot over it worked fine.  Just thought I would mention that for the 
archives.
