I may be missing some subtle point here, but there should be no
difference between
boot -c /kernel
and
boot /kernel -c
The "official" boot2 syntax, in both the old and the new bootblocks,
is also
[kernel_name] [options]
but
[options] [kernel_name]
is equally acceptable in practice.
In the case of loader, either way results in the same settings in the
"howto" flags passed to the kernel.
