Greetings,

	Is there a *standart* way to compile a kernel for selecting
root device other than booted. That is to wire into the kernel some
root device with ``config kernel root on sd0'' and then boot the
kernel with that device being root device. Best I can do is to patch
i386/i386/autoconf.c to set boothowto to RB_DFLTROOT.

	Is there a way to set this flag by default in config?
