[syslinux] passing parameters to the newly booted kernel

[Andrew Hume]

is it possible to pass parameters from a .cfg file to the newly  
booted kernel?

my setup is pxelinux where the relevent config is

label fbsd63
	kernel memdisk
	append initrd=/freebsd6.3.hd harddisk

what i would like to do is pass in some parameter so the booted  
kernel can behave differently.
i've looked in teh archives without success, although i did see an  
elliptic reference
to /proc/cmdline from within /linuxrc.

i boot both freebsd and linux kernels, so answers for both would be  
welcome.
