I noted that we no longer have the disc1.iso in this release.  What
should I use to populate a NFS rootfs for netinstalls?

This was what I had been using(8.2-RELEASE) to populate NFS roots for
netinstalls.  This allowed you to boot up into something that was
self-contained.

The other ISO's seem to have A LOT more stuff with symlinks pointing to
absolute paths all over the f/s. This isn't quite as simple to copy over
to a rootfs to use as a NFS target for booting.
