You should have two options to key in a "single" option, which should
be forwarded from MILO to the kernel an then to init.
The first option is to alter the OSLOADOPTIONS environment variable in
AlphaBIOS/ARC for the appropriate boot selection. The second option is
to force a "soft reboot" within Linux, which should give you the
opportunity to key in a "boot" command directly ay the MILO prompt ("hit
any key for interactive mode"). This boot command should be the same as
the one you are actually using, via OSLOADOPTIONS from AlphaBIOS/ARC,
plus any option you want to give in addition.
