Yes... from 'man boot_i386': "You may put a BIOS drive number, a controller type, a unit number, a partition, a kernel file name and the -B, -h or -P options in /boot.config to set defaults. Write them in one line just as you type them at the `boot:' prompt." Works like a charm -- I've built "boot keys" using the boot.flp image from the distribution in the past.
