Diskless (BOOTP_NFSROOT,NFS_ROOT) booting appears to be broken in
-current. (at least on alpha, haven't tried x86):
net0:> boot kernel.de1

The rootdev is never set, so the mount is never attempted in
vfs_mountrootfs.

Birrell) seems to fix it temporarily. Can somebody with a clue please
look into this?
