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.
>From Sun's (SunOS 4.1.4) reboot man page:
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.

Chuck
