In aout systems, the 'dset' program was used to write configuration changes directly to the aout kernel image. It doesn't work with ELF kernels. A utility called 'kget' was recently added to the -current tree to do something similar for ELF kernels, but that doesn't help you much... You need to create a /boot/boot.config file that contains at least these lines: load kernel load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf Then, you need to create a /boot/kernel.conf file that contains the commands that you would normally type at the config> prompt.
