I had a similar problem with bootparamd on FreeBSD and spent some time 
debugging it.

The @#$%ing code uses scanf() to parse the config file.  The second form, 
with "wind root=..." all on one line, is required to get it to parse the 
file correctly.  The first with an additional back-slash won't cut it.

I have never seen any code that couldn't be dramatically improved by 
removing all references to scanf().
