	Found in -stable, but -current should exhibit the same behaviour.

>Description:

	During PicoBSD boot, files in the /etc directory (and sub-
	directories) of the boot floppy are copied into the MFS.

	In order to allow port and user configuration files
	(specifically ssh configuration files and keys for my
	purposes), it would be useful to also copy files from /root
	and /usr as well.

	Also, the size of the startup script (mfs.rc) should not be
	an issue if it is deleted before the replacement is copied
	over it (although I haven't confirmed this).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Add files other than in /etc on the floppy disk - they are
	not copied.

>Fix:

	The following is the change I made to my customised
	/usr/src/release/picobsd/net/floppy.tree/etc/mfs.rc
