  Modified files:
    sys/kern             vfs_conf.c 
    sys/i386/i386        autoconf.c 
    sys/alpha/alpha      autoconf.c 
  Log:
  This is a complete rewrite of vfs_conf.c, which changes the way the root
  filesystem is discovered.  Preference is given to using the kernel
  environment variable vfs.root.mountfrom, which is set by the loader
  according to the contents of /etc/fstab.  Changes in the MD code
  provide fallback mechanisms for systems not using the loader.
  
  A more robust fallback path is also provided, with the last recourse
  being to prompt on the console for a root device.
  
  These changes drastically simplify the machine-dependant parts of
  the root configuration process.  In addition, support for CDROM root
  devices has been removed; it was a nasty hack and didn't work.
