I've been trying to mount a CD-ROM as root on FreeBSD so as to have a
self-contained demo of a project that I could run anywhere. However, I
found that the "-C" option was apparently being ignored by the new boot
loader. The following patch fixed the problem:

+++ sys/boot/i386/libi386/bootinfo.c Mon May 24 14:32:01 1999

Is this worthy of a PR?
