Since I am currently experimenting with BOOTP in -current, I patched ONLY
vfs_conf.c and vfs_subr.c with your rootfsid changes. Works fine in a BOOTP
configuration. -current sources are as of last night.
I can now boot a -current system from only a floppy disk with a (kgzipped) kernel
on it!
(plus some patches (see below) to rc.diskless1 where it (bogusly) temporarily
mounts /usr, since it is already there (it should check for "-d /usr/bin" first),
and rc.diskless2 to mfs a /var/msgs dir)
