While looking at sysctl machdep on sparc, I noticed that
machdep.booted_kernel will return an error if you boot up
a NetBSD partition without either setting boot-file in the
prom or manually supplying it. Shouldn't we return the default
kernel name if the boot-file is a null length string (and
hence the loader has filled in the gap) ?
a reasonable default should probably be emitted, yeah.
