What do people think of adding default kernel names for the bootblocks
so search for in case no kernel name is supplied?  Ie, it would be
possible to type:

	boot -f rz(0,0,0)
    or
	boot 3/rz0

to load the default kernel(s).  For example, the i386 searches for (in
order):

	netbsd
	netbsd.gz
	netbsd.old
	netbsd.old.gz
	onetbsd
	onetbsd.gz

I haven't tested this, but it doesn't seem very hard to support.

Comments anyone?

Simon.
