:Since I am currently experimenting with BOOTP in -current, I patched ONLY
:vfs_conf.c and vfs_subr.c with your rootfsid changes. Works fine in a BOOTP
:configuration. -current sources are as of last night.

:I can now boot a -current system from only a floppy disk with a (kgzipped) kernel
:on it!

:(plus some patches (see below) to rc.diskless1 where it (bogusly) temporarily
: mounts /usr, since it is already there (it should check for "-d /usr/bin" first),
: and rc.diskless2 to mfs a /var/msgs dir)
Yah, there's a lot of bogosity in the rc.diskless stuff -- it kinda got
stale and needs a major update. My latest rc.diskless stuff avoids
mounting /var R+W, which means all the NFS mounts are RO now except for
the swap mount.
Hopefully I'll get back to it soon. I'll save your patch.
Oh shoot, I just realized I forgot the utility support portions in the
multi-patch #2 (e.g. the updated vnconfig utility). Ugh.
