I see a couple of things in LINT:

# Make space in the kernel for a MFS root filesystem.  Define to the
number
# of kilobytes to reserve for the filesystem.
options         MFS_ROOT=10
# Allow the MFS_ROOT code to load the MFS image from floppy if it is
missing.
options         MFS_AUTOLOAD

You may want to look at the `make release' procedure and the src/release
subdirectory to see how they do it.
