What's the name of the netbsd kernel on the same device as ofwboot?

I sent an email yesterday detailing what the input at the Boot: prompt can be.

It sounds like you could do 'boot hd:,ofwboot.elf -a' followed by the 
name of your kernel at the prompt.  Better yet you may be able to 
skip ofwboot and just do 'boot hd:,netbsd' (or whatever your kernel 
name is).


Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
