>Release:        FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Switch and Data
>Environment:

	Release system installed with all.

>Description:

	MFS_ROOT doesn't work.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Build MFS_ROOT system, include MFS_ROOT_SIZE and root image.
	Attempt to boot it.

>Fix:
	
	Put back the missing code.  ufs/mfs/mfs_vfsops.c has a bunch of
	code missing that implemented this.

	Alternative:  document a way of building a system with a built-in
	root filesystem that can run from the memory image.
