Ooh, now I remember; userconfig was the old hardware configuration mechanism we had before device.hints. If you typed -c at the boot1 prompt, you would get an interactive display where you could assign IRQs and ports to devices. The script is basically a sequence of userconfig commands; you could extract it from kenv after an interactive boot and store it in a file which the loader would read the next time around. AFAIR, userconfig was axed between FreeBSD 3 and 4, so there would be no point in loading a userconfig script for a 5.x kernel.
