The problem is that for an MFS root, we leave the > root dev in the loader pointing to whatever, and RB_CDROM takes precedence over > MD_ROOT. A more proper fix might be to allow the rootdev to be set to "mfs" or > "md0" or some such and have the loader allow that. Then if the user leaves cd0 I thought that RB_CDROM was only set by the old bootblocks. Bootblocks that are less than 2 years old should set vfs.root.mountfrom to [:], and not shoot their foot off by setting deprecated flags.
