Isn't this fixed by the commit on the 13 by imp :

Log:
Fix interactive booting:
o Revision 1.38 introduced the -n flag. It conflicted with the
RB_BOOTINFO flag, so was in effect always on. Change the -n flag to
be bit 0x1c instead of 0x1f. This also had the consequence that a mal-formed
/boot.config would render the system unbootable because the user was
unable to enter anything at all on the command line.
o Remove the initialization of opt to be RB_BOOTINFO since we filter that bit
out and do not otherwise use it.
I have not tested this but it sounds the it should be working now?
