Try "/boot/loader.rc", with (for example):
load /kernel
load -t userconfig_script /kernel.config
autoboot
You may want to replace "load /kernel" with "load /kernel.GENERIC". The
file, "/kernel.config", contains (for example) lines like:
pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5 port1 0x330 port2 0x388
pnp 1 1 os enable port0 0x208
pnp 1 2 os enable port0 0x620 port1 0xa20 port2 0xe20
(strip leading spaces.) The above is for an AWE64 PNP card.
Note that using the filename, "/boot/boot.conf", instead of
"/boot/loader.rc", will also work, but is deprecated.

IIRC, you should be able to hit the spacebar (or any other key)
during the startup boot delay to access the new boot loader command
prompt. At this point, you should be able to type "boot -c" to access
the old-style boot config process (this is deprecated -- I think any
changes made here are not saved). This is also dependent upon the old
boot menu being present in kernel.GENERIC (I think it is).
