>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.
