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.
