You can interrupt the boot loader and at the OK prompt run "ls" to see
what the loader has mounted as the root partition.  Then, assuming that
you locate your kernel in ``/boot/kernel/kernel'', loading a specific
kernel can be done with:

	OK set bootfile=/boot/kernel/kernel
	OK set module_path=/boot/kernel
	OK load kernel
	OK boot
