I see how my finger error on the mouse mangled the subject line (now corrected).

So I suppose I make buildworld, installworld and "regular" kernel, then switch to drm-i915-update-38 and build kernel from there (INSTKERNNAME=kerneli915).

What I did, instead of nextboot, was go to the loader prompt, unload, then load /boot/kerneli915/kernel.  That worked.

Not sure how nextboot would work when there multiple partitions and multiple OSes installed on hard drive.
