That's hardcoded bootsector(-geometry) you're referring to, sorry.
Basicly you have a bootsector pointing to MetaKern, and then MetaBoot is
attached/appended to MetaKERN.SYS and reuses metakern's bootsector. That
way you could use the metakern.sys file that's located on harddisk even
on a floppy without having to regenerate bootsectors.
Each metaboot instance pointing to a different FreeDOS kernel file
(KERNEL38.SYS , KERNEL40.SYS etc) would be convenient :)
"metaboot.bot - boot sector that re-uses the boot sector in RAM, set up
for the case where MetaKern is called metakern.sys
(So you must use a NEW STYLE MetaKern installation!)"

Likely just a matter of changing kernel name inside source code and
recompiling with NASM. Some config directive (-D or so was it?) would be
more convenient :)
