  I don't think -n or -N will work;  the PROM command inteprets the -<flag>
option, and won't take the -n or -N.  [The -a option is "standard" for
Ultrix, and recognized by the PROM.]

  NetBSD accepts the parameter list with or without the '-', so
	boot blaba a
	boot blaba n
	boot blaba N
should all work.
