This seems to be a linuxism.  *BSD don't have a command line argument
for the kernel; the flags passed to the normal i386 bootloader are
parsed by the bootloader, and turned into a bitmap for the kernel,
rather than have the kernel parse the string.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but it would be nice to have one.
