This was too early positive. It does not help, as unzipped mfsroot is not
actually loaded as filesystem:
OK ls
/
? boot
? boot.config
? boot.catalog
? cdrom.inf
OK lsmod
0x100000: /boot/kernel/kernel (elf kernel, 0x8e4268)
modules: linux.1 rr232x.1 io.1 splash.1 agp.1 nfsserver.1 nfslock.1 nfs.1
nfs4.1 wlan.1 if_gif.1 if_faith.1 ether.1 sysvshm.1 sysvsem.1 sysvmsg.1

linprocfs.1 cam.1
0x9e4268: /boot/mfsroot (mfs_root, 0x800000)
So after loading kernel it complains:
init: not found in path /sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/rescue/init:/stand/sysinstall
panic: no init
(while there was line
md0: Preloaded image </boot/mfsroot> 8388608 bytes at 0xffffffff809e4268
a few lines before...)
... will experiment further...
