regardless of whether or not you're using Julian's boot blocks
(which are wonderful!) you'll still have some problems with using
a kernel not named "386bsd" because a lot of things depend
on this being the kernel name...
your shellscript idea is probably the best, for your needs...
(but use Julian's bootblocks, too... they've saved my butt once or
twice, and left me with as running system when /386bsd got hosed
for some reason or another...)
