It is somewhat easier to put the kernel into its own root filesystem,
then (say) 'boot hd0h:netbsd' will boot the requested kernel from
the specified netbsd partition and make that partition the root
partition.  This doesn't need a specially built kernel.

(There is currently no way to boot a kernel from one partition
and pass it a different partition as the root filesystem (the
kernel can, however, ignore the partition that is passed in).)

OTOH getting the bootselector to do it is less typing (and I
have had it working, but I'm trying to remove the 64k limit
for code, data and stack for the i386 biosboot.sym code).
