... and "USERCONFIG\n" being the crucial thing here - it's the keyword for
userconfig code that it has to look into this section of kernel.config.
When it sees this keyword, it passes the contents of all lines into
command-line engine as if they were read from keyboard. That's why it has
to end with "quit" command.

And yes, you have to include USERCONFIG_BOOT. If you use boot: -c when the
/kernel.config is present, it will first read it and set up parameters
appropriately, but then it will ignore the final "quit" command.
