Well, you could change the dflname[] value in /sys/i386/boot/biosboot/table.c
to whatever - maybe "wd(1,a)/kernel" instead of "/kernel".
Wouldn't it be nice if any value typed in here was written to the boot
blocks automatically - similar to the way -c writes back to the kernel
that you boot.... I guess there isn't really room for the intelligence !
