You now use the new 3rd stage boot loader to pass this information to your
running kernel.  

First, you should remove the USERCONFIG line from the start
of the file (probably /kernel.config). 

Then in /boot/boot.conf:

load /kernel
load -t userconfig_script /kernel.config
autoboot

The magic is the 'load -t userconfig_script' command.

Again, you need to use the new 3rd stage booter to do this; this doesn't
necessarily require the new boot1/boot2 boot blocks, but you might
consider that a the same time.   You can try the new loader by "booting"
/boot/loader and then the commands above.
