>Description:

	I can never remember whether my arm gizmos boot from /netbsd or
	/boot/netbsd.img or what.

	On x86 I can use `sysctl machdep.booted_kernel' to remind me.
	But on arm it's not there.

	It would be nice if it were.

	(Ditto other architectures, really, I just happen to be hitting
	this right now on arm.)

>How-To-Repeat:

	sysctl machdep.booted_kernel

>Fix:

	Yes, please!
