You need to grab the L2CR setting from your OS9 Cache enabler, then pass an
additional kernel argument:

l2cr=0xa9000000
       ^---- Not this exact value, your specific cache setting!

BootX does this automagically when you check the "Enable G3 Cache" box.  I
needed to do something similar in Darwin to set the G3 Cache on my 8600.
