 This is related to a bunch of i386 legacy code which "assumed" that a system
 without /etc/fstab would boot from a da/wd/fd device.  [ See setroot() in
 sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c, in particular, comments around line 250. ]
 
 The legacy code was yanked from sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c in rev 1.151, and
 hasn't been MFC'd yet.
