:I got dragged away yesterday before I could fix this properly; it

:forbearance and fix it properly this evening.
If you can actually fix the MFS hacks that have been put in over the
years to deal with root fs mounts a lot of people are going to be
*very* happy with you! It is certainly worth some temporary breakage.
I am not happy at all with the rootfsid hacks I made a few months ago
but I didn't have time to do anything about it at the time and I had
to get BOOTP working again after someone left it broken for a couple
of weeks.
