            Bug ID: 283457
           Summary: [vfs] add option to panic when mounting of root
                    filesystem fails

sys/kern/vfs_mountroot.c debug.rootfs_mount_fail_dontask

this adds useful option that allows workaround, when developing or running =
on
embedded or other systems, that might have problems getting device that the
root filesystem resides on, up in first power on

resulting panic and reboot, instead of sitting on mountroot prompt forever,
could get system up and running in multiple tries

i'm not aware of any of such function added in last decade, from which time
period i have this patch sitting around

i don't have any other good names for variable, it's subcategory, nor how t=
o,
if required, have better ideas on how to implement it in better ways

unsure if it's helpful in production or development but it was helpful for =
me
