Huh, in the boot code? :-]

Should you ever collect the information, don't hesitate to write it
down and submit it to the freebsd-hackers list.  I'm more than happy
to commit your file into the FAQ Text collection.

To give you a starting point:

-s		boot into single user

-d		call DDB before probing devices

-c		call userconfig before probing devices
