At one time I was thinking of adding code to /etc/rc that would look
at all of the kernels in /, extract the version string from each, and
compare it to the version string returned by 'uname -v'.

But now I take the easy way out instead.  If I boot a kernel other
than /netbsd, I boot single-user and move that kernel to /netbsd
before bringing the machine up to multiuser.
