You also have to fix the boot code to not gratuitously ignore -v.
>'man boot' for more info.
"You may put a BIOS drive number, a controller type, a unit number, a par-
tition, a kernel file name and the -b, -D, -h or -P options in
/boot.config to set defaults..."
No mention of -v. -b and -P in also cleared early, but -b sort of works
because turning it off doesn't work, and -P works because it is processed
even earlier.
