 The problem is basically that the 2.1.6 (and later) kernels are
 incompatible with UserConfig's argument passing now.  The kernel
 *always* assumes -c now, but if there are no commands in the boot
 blocks then nothing is done, it just quits again.  Since there are no
 boot blocks in the fbsdboot case, I'm not sure what to do here.
 Probably all I can do is change the default userconfig behavior to
 always drop into the intro screen by default when there are no boot
 block commands for it. :-(
