I read the section on the boot process with great interest.  I realize it's
unfinished, but I wonder if you could answer a few questions.

Dosboot sounds useful, especially since Windows 95 doesn't like biosboot.
Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere.  (I found winboot in the xperiment
directory.)  Can you tell me where to find it?

I'd like to know _how_ the kernel finds a root filesystem.  How to I
configure or parameterize it to use the various root filesystems you
mention?  I am particularly interested in booting from CDROM or MFS.

Thanks.
