} AFAICT all the relevant kernels contain ffs (and nfs for that matter).
Just because all shipping kernels are currently required to
contain ffs doesn't mean a user can't build a kernel without it
"knowing" that /boot will load the appropriate module. At the very
least, this should have been a knob so that people can build a /boot
that will load the appropriate filesystem if they wish.
