   What do people think of adding default kernel names for the bootblocks
   so search for in case no kernel name is supplied?  Ie, it would be
   possible to type:
   
   	boot -f rz(0,0,0)
       or
   	boot 3/rz0
   
   to load the default kernel(s).  For example, the i386 searches for (in
   order):
   
   	netbsd
   	netbsd.gz
   	netbsd.old
   	netbsd.old.gz
   	onetbsd
   	onetbsd.gz
   
   I haven't tested this, but it doesn't seem very hard to support.
   
   Comments anyone?
