Then you have to maintain the script.  As long as you can build
one kernel that works for many people I think it's better to have
the logic in the kernel.

You can use the venti/conf and fossil/conf commands to brand
configurations onto your disks.  Then /boot/boot will just do the
right thing.  There's a new kernel 9pcf that is a fossil terminal.
I don't remember if I pushed out though.  I'll check.
