[rescue] Ultra1 oddity

[Larry Snyder]

What bit me was:  Box was running in 32-bit mode.  Added a sound card.
Did a boot -r.  It found the driver and loaded it, but came up in 64.
What I surmised was that if you feed 'boot' any arguments from the
command line, you had to feed all of them.  IOW, what I should have
said was 'boot kernel/unix -r' to do the dirty deed in 32.  By using
/reconfigure, OBP read everything from NVRAM and acted appropriately.
That worked for me, anyway.
