Hiya, just want to run something past you here.

I note you're having problems with the MFS root stuff printing 
"mfs_mountroot: can't find rootvp" and the root mount failing.  

This seems to be related to the changes in rev 1.167 of kern/vfs_subr.c
which is now returning ENXIO for MFS because MFS doesn't have a block
major number.

I'm hoping that Bruce will have an answer for this; perhaps mfs_mount
shouldn't be trying to convert a bdev into a vp for its mount, or bdevvp
needs to be more lenient in some cases.
