>Organization:
Okayama University
>Environment:
any
>Description:
Although IDE CD-ROM device name "wcd" has been changed to "acd",
kernel may print "trying wcd0 as rootdev (...)" in verbose mode.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. modify loader so that it can handle -C (boot with cdrom root fs).

2. replace /boot/loader in kern.flp with the binary above.
3. replace /boot/loader.rc in kern.flp with the following 2 lines:
load /kernel
boot -C -v
4. boot with the modified kern.flp.
