>Environment:

	Distributed boot floppy
	
>Description:

	EXT2FS should be in GENERIC kernel, so it is possible to 
	access linix-disks for repair and for upgrading to freebsd
	from linux when having downloaded distfiles to linux-disk.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Boot from boot.img

>Fix:
	
	Include EXT2FS in GENERIC
	At least make it an option between the other fs's
	(MSDOSFS, CD9660) in beginning of GENERIC conf, not hidden in 
	the bottom of LINT undocumented.
