At least you can get the complete kernel line from /proc/cmdline.
If you like, put something like this into your .bashrc:
# get boot parameters:
SOFTLEVEL=$( < /proc/cmdline )
# strip from left all up to and including 'softlevel=':
SOFTLEVEL=${SOFTLEVEL##*softlevel=}
# strip from the right all from the first blank on:
SOFTLEVEL=${SOFTLEVEL%% *} # strip all
Oh, or forget about all this, as I just see that there is the rc-status -r
command.
