:c014a794 T devsw
:c014a7b0 T cdevsw_add
c014a79a --- sounds like the same or a similar bug to the one I
fixed, where devsw() was being called with rootdev == NODEV (-1)
and doing a NULL (well -1) pointer dereference.
In my case it was related to an assumption at line 203 of vfs_conf.c
in vfs_mountroot_try() that rootdev had been initialized. This isn't
the case for a BOOTP boot. I do not know about other types of booting.
