Have a look at (or create) the /boot/kernel.conf file. It takes
whatever you want to do with the kernel config (like "boot -c"
and doing things at the config prompt). And don't forget the
final line with a "q" on it (don't know whether EOF will suffice
for ending configuration -- and strictly speaking I don't want to
test it out with the chance to have an unbootable machine
afterwards:).
Mine looks like this, you can use it as an example:
----- cat /boot/kernel.conf -------
di sio1
q

Not really much, I know. But all to give you an idea. :)
