Command line to what? The kernels don't have command lines.
The other platforms generally are much better defined. The PC just
happened, and so there's all sorts of ad hocery to cope with, such as
the lack of a proper boot prom capable of bootp/dhcp/tftp loading and
of accepting console configuration commands. The alphapc port
actually does read a plan9.ini file from /alpha/conf, much like the
newer /cfg/pxe. Of course you have to be able to find your main
Ethernet interface in order to load those files...
