Just clobber the bootargs property and the halt? flag:

ok dev /chosen
ok " bootargs" delete-property
ok 0 0 " bootargs" property
ok false to halt?
ok do-boot

You might want to define the above in nvramrc inside a method, because 
you'll be doing it a lot :-)
Something like having nvramrc contain:

               
                        : fixup
                        " /chosen" find-device
                        " bootargs" delete-property
                        0 0 " bootargs" property       
                        " false to halt?" eval ;

That last is inside an "eval" string because halt? won't be defined at 
nvramrc time.
