I keep thinking this should be something you ought to be able to
discover without being on console. I realize the BIOS can't be
interrogated but if I knew that the active kernel was ad3:/boot/kernel
or ad2:/boot/kernel, it would be useful. Kind of surprised that
doesn't appear anywhere in dmesg or that it can't be read out of
somewhere.
