Look at Chapter 1 of the docs and you will see one way to control this:
1.6 Using the OSKit
1.6.1 Example Kernels
1.6.2 Booting Kernels
==> 1.6.3 Command line arguments
See 1.6.3 for the -h flag,
http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/doc/node15.html#SECTION02163000000000000000
It's possible that conventions for passing command line arguments
have changed since this part of the doc was updated,
and you can probably hard-wire the console too,
so genuine hackers may need to correct this msg.
