Hmmm, it doesn't seem to work though (and I can't seem to find any
code which would make_dev() handle that; did you maybe forget to
commit that change?):
OK boot -a
nothing to autoload yet.

However, if I reenable the atapi-cd clone code:

It seems that I was wrong in claiming that we need root-mounting
ability for sparc64 releases though (it was only needed for the first
bootable CD-ROMs before we started to use the standard release
framework, which has the root file system in a bootmfs), so this
breakage would be less critical than I initially thought.
