   Actually, sparc kernel parses boot arguments and sets "boothowto" itself and
   it does it in bootpath_build(), i.e. in cpu_configure(), i.e. *after*
   configure() tests for RB_USERCONF.


yes, i know.  it doesn't use BOOT_FLAGS() like (nearly?) every
other port does.  it should, however, because there are like
7 or 8 default handled flags in BOOT_FLAGS() and sparc only does
3 (-s, -d and -a.)



.mrg.
