Haven't tried -CURRENT, but on -STABLE, even if
you type the right thing, it doesn't work.
Try moving a bootable ad0 disk to ad2 or
ad4 and note that nothing you type into
the mountroot prompt will actually mount
root.

The mountroot prompt code itself is pretty straightforward,
and it should be easy to make the prompt management
more robust in the way you describe.  Of course, making
it actually work could be an adventure. ;-)
