How do I set up NetBSD to only look for a kernel on wd0a and never ask me
if I want to find another one?  There appear to be no manpages for bootxx
or xxboot files in /usr/mdec, and the notes in /usr/src/sys.386bsd/i386/boot
don't seem very descriptive.

Also, BTW, apropos finds an entry for installboot.8 but that doesn't seem
to exist as a man page or as a binary.
