You can modify the OpenBSD kernel with the config(8) command, either temporarily or permanently. This man page as well as http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#config have an example.
No Janko, I didn't try. I usually configure kernel during the boot with as

Code:
boot> -c
ukc> disable uscanner
ukc>quit
but while I was reading the thread about bsd.mp kernel and man pages
for boot.conf it occurred to me that above might be possible. This is the
quote from the man pages for boot.conf

5. If the file /etc/boot.conf exists on the filesystem boot was loaded
from, open and parse it. This file may contain any commands boot
accepts at the interactive prompt. Though default settings usually
suffice, they can be changed here.

boot.conf processing can be skipped by holding down either Control
key as boot starts.

I have not read things carefully nor I played with it so I am probably wrong.
By the way the man pages are from 4.3 current i386 with GENERIC bsd.mp kernel.

Thank for the quick response.
