The arguments you gave to the kernel when booting are in /proc/cmdline,
but that may not be the current softlevel, it may have been changed since
booting. With baselayout-1, the current softlevel is
in /var/lib/init.d/softlevel. There may be a similar file for
baselayout-2 but I haven't had the need to find it yet.
