We no longer use that. I'm surprised it is present at all in 3.4's
source code. Alas... maybe it is an old version that somehow was left

Indeed, nextboot is not supported anymore, though one can easily write a
program to do what you want by changing /boot/loader.conf.

Please refer to loader(8), loader.conf(5) and loader.4th(8) man pages
for 3.x+ system bootstrapping.
