Is there any way for the system to dynamically set the name of PATH_UNIX?
(in theory, I mean -- obviously it doesn't do this now.)

This would be most useful for the libkvm routines, especially as relative
to things like lkm/loadmod and ps/uptime/w/vmstat/dkstat/iostat.

This way if we *happen* to boot /onetbsd (or /netbsd.old) because /netbsd
is now hosed, we don't have to say 'ps - /onetbsd' to get the right readings.

What information about the booted kernel is made available to the kernel?
I know that if you run "boot -s" typically "init" is the one to receive the
"-s" flag (so I've seen -- might not have been NetBSD tho').
