I haven't used BEs yet, as I have no ZFS-on-root systems. I just know
that's how they're supposed to work, and that's the desired use case for
them.
Vermaden from FreeBSD Forums would be a better one to ask, as he uses them
a lot and was one of the people behind BE support in FreeBSD.

Sounds like a perfect use case for Boot Environments. Create a new BE,
install the new kernel into it, set it as the default, reboot. If it
fails, you manually set the previous BE as the default, and reboot. That
way, your "known-good", working environment is never affected.

At the moment, the most recent kernel of FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT crashes on
all of the boxes I compiled the most recent kernel sources (build a
world ncluding kernel, not only the kernel, so the system is "consistent").
At the loader prompt, I need to unload the buggy kernel and load the old
