	Release system installed with all.

	MFS_ROOT doesn't work.

	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.

 Try adding
 
 	pseudo-device	md
 
 to your kernel config; support for compiled-in root filesystems was
 moved into the md driver some time ago. You may also want to use
 the MD_ROOT and MD_ROOT_SIZE options instead of the MFS ones that
 are only present for compatibility.
