yeah AFAIK you can't do this.  you can use 'boot -a' to ask the
operator interactively, or burn it into the kernel using the 'config'
directive that you found.  I hadn't thought of Tobias's RAIDframe
trick---that sounds neat.

Remember to put a copy of your kernel onto the root filesystem.  Part
of the reason for assuming the kernel was loaded at boot time from the
root filesystem, is that tools like 'ps' 'netstat' 'top' 'systat' all
need to read the file from which the kernel was loaded.

I've had very bad luck with PCI IDE cards on noti386, but I think some
others may have better experience.
