There is some utterly disgusting code that tries to find a ed%d interface to use in the kernel. That would be a problem. You need to explain to it that it's a lp0 interface instead in this case. The right medium for this explanation is the struct nfs_diskless (?) and since you change that you need to change the version# of it, and then locore.s to copy the right number of bytes.
