I've not read up on it and have not deliberately configured it, but
boot environments do seem to be present:

Many thanks for this as it's just the info I was looking for.

I think I'll first thoroughly read up on bectl, and then pkg lock rpi-firmware and uboot,
then rebuild (hopefully it'll boot) and then pkg upgrade.
