Given the /dev/nit context, I presume we're talking Suns here,
in which case you can.  I've only personally used this feature
to pass -sw or -saw.

REBOOT(8)             MAINTENANCE COMMANDS              REBOOT(8)
 
NAME
     reboot - restart the operating system
 
SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/reboot [ -dnq ] [ boot arguments ]
...
  Boot Arguments
     If a boot argument string is given, it is passed to the boot
     command  in  the PROM monitor.  The string must be quoted if
     it contains spaces or other characters that could be  inter-
     preted  by  the  shell.   If the first character of the boot
     argument string is a minus sign `-' the string must be  pre-
     ceded by an option terminator string `--' For example:
          reboot -- -s
     to reboot and come up single user,
          reboot vmunix.test
     to reboot to a new kernel.  See boot(8S) for details.
