Gah,  I guess that the version of SLOF I have is missing something,
I have no nvupdate, and I need to use:
        etherboot <xen args> -- <dom0 args>
to netboot and supply args.  So I'm a little closer to where I'd like to
be thanks.

I'd like to turn off auto-boot but I don't see how without nvupdate.

Okay this is a problem with my local tree.  I'm baffled as to how it
happened but the file was removed.
