We should hammer the hell out of the -HEAD emulated images first (ie, doing buildworlds inside the emulators to ensure that things don't get overly kinked up) and actively backport fixes from -HEAD to -10 though.) Now that this is working, I'm going to make good on my promise to take gonzo's great work and flesh out the missing documentation (ie, rootdev isn't right by default, the specific bits to put in /etc/fstab, adding a swap partition, etc) so that everyone can do it. Then, likely, I'll extend my build scripts to do exactly the documented steps so it will spit out the relevant images. Then, no excuse. -adrian
