Ehm, not quite. boot2 in 2.2.8 read the boot.conf which was just the boot flags. The actual changes from UserConfig were being extracted and written out as binary patches to the kernel (can you say "ugly"?). Or, alternatively, you could write them manually into /kernel.config, and they would be automatically read by /kernel, whether you wanted it or not. Now, boot2 reads about the same info, but from /boot/boot.conf, but if you don't load /kernel.config explicitely, /kernel ignores it.
