Currently, it's possible, (as root), to do something like:

# mount_mfs -s 1g swap /

which succeeds, and mounts the empty filesystem as the root filesystem.

This makes the machine inoperable and requires a physical reset, without a 
clean shutdown, as no system binaries are available.

Shouldn't we make mount_mfs error out in this case?
