this rubs me in an interesting way:

i think i'd like to see the boot program/locore changed to support
this.  it can be useful; for instance, unless i'm mistaken, you
can boot BSDI systems with '-autodebug', and it'll print autoconfig
debugging information...

now, i don't know if that flag is handled in the bootstrap, or in the
kernel, but something like that would be a good idea, and i think the
more general it is, the better...
