After a recent report on a difference between 2.2.x and 3.1 GENERIC
kernel, I confirmed that the following change never went into
2.2.x-stable. Furthermore, the upgrade target *does not* deal with
it. Further furthermore, nor does UPDATING mention it (it's newer
than the change). It seems kernels without this can boot, but are
unstable. Comments? Work-arounds? Is a comment in Errata in order?

src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC:

1.105 Sat Jan 24 2:54:09 1998 UTC by eivind 
Diffs to 1.104 

Make all file-system (MFS, FFS, NFS, LFS, DEVFS) related option
new-style.

This introduce an xxxFS_BOOT for each of the rootable filesystems.
(Presently not required, but encouraged to allow a smooth move of
option *FS
to opt_dontuse.h later.)
