IMHO, if there is a kernel named `/netbsd', we should always boot off of
it, for consistency with the other architectures.  If we fail to find
/netbsd, _then_ we should look for /netbsd.${ARCH}.  THis also allows
install software to install both, and then add an appropriate symlink.

If you wanted to be really spiffy, you could fall back to
/netbsd.${ARCH} if the kernel named /netbsd was for the wrong
architecture...  (Is this detectable early enough?)
