it's a mountpoint for that file system. on my main devbox, when i boot -current, /altroot is the -10 install, and when i boot -10, /altroot is the -current install. on an arm64 server, i have /altroot being the emmc back up boot, when the nvme is broken, and i tend to update the emmc only infrequently. i otherwise use it as a randon other /mnt ... .mrg.
