Yes.

however, to change the defaults parameters the bootblock uses, you have
to recompile it.

you need the comp(iler) binaries and the sys( = kernel) sources. The bootblock
is in /sys/arch/amiga/stand/boot/bootblock/. Look at the "main.c" file, the
initialization if the default_command[] array.
Change it , make, make install, then use
/usr/mdec/installboot /usr/mdec/xxboot /dev/rsd1a (in your case) from 
single user mode (that is, after "shutdown now").
