The kernel certainly doesn't use _PATH_DEV or even /dev/ to find the device.
It cannot, since "/" has not been mounted. Maybe the only affect of using
/dev/ is that it gets put in the mounted-from name for "/", so that mount(8),
etc., display an absolute path before "/" has been remounted. Many have
never bothered typing the full path, and code that constructs a path in
rootdevnames[] never bothered to construct a full path, so the example
shouldn't have it.

An initial tidyup of the mount() syscall and VFS mount code.
This code replaces the earlier work done by jlemon in an attempt to
make linux_mount() work.
* the guts of the mount work has been moved into vfs_mount().
* move `type', `path' and `flags' from being userland variables into being
kernel variables in vfs_mount(). `data' remains a pointer into
userspace.
* Attempt to verify the `type' and `path' strings passed to vfs_mount()
aren't too long.
* rework mount() and linux_mount() to take the userland parameters
(besides data, as mentioned) and pass kernel variables to vfs_mount().
(linux_mount() already did this, I've just tidied it up a little more.)
* remove the copyin*() stuff for `path'. `data' still requires copyin*()
since its a pointer into userland.
* set `mount->mnt_statf_mntonname' in vfs_mount() rather than in each
filesystem. This variable is generally initialised with `path', and
each filesystem can override it if they want to.
* NOTE: f_mntonname is intiailised with "/" in the case of a root mount.
mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using

Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the

Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

Add MD_ROOT and MD_ROOT_SIZE options to the md driver.
Make the md driver handle MFS_ROOT and MFS_ROOT_SIZE options for compatibility.
Add md driver to GENERIC, PCCARD and LINT.
This is a cleanup which removes the need for some of the worse hacks in
MFS: We really want to have a rootvnode but MFS on a preloaded image
doesn't really have one. md is a true device, so it is less trouble.
This has been tested with make release, and if people remember to add
the "md" pseudo-device to their kernels, PicoBSD should be just fine
as well. If people have no other use for MFS, it can be removed from
the kernel.
We currently only search SCSI and IDE CDROMs; if there's felt to be a
need for supporting the very old and rare soundcard etc. drives for this
application they can be trivially added.
In order to achieve this, root filesystem mount is moved from
SI_ORDER_FIRST to SI_ORDER_SECOND in the SI_SUB_MOUNT_ROOT sysinit
group. Now, modules which wish to usurp the default root mount
can use SI_ORDER_FIRST.
A compiled-in or preloaded MFS filesystem will become the root
filesystem unless the vfs.root.mountfrom environment variable refers
to a valid bootable device. This will normally only be the case when
the kernel and MFS image have been loaded from a disk which has a
valid /etc/fstab file. In this case, the variable should be manually
overridden in the loader, or the kernel booted with -a. In either
case "mfs:" should be supplied as the new value.
Also fix a typo in one DFLTROOT case that would not have compiled.
filesystem is discovered. Preference is given to using the kernel
environment variable vfs.root.mountfrom, which is set by the loader
according to the contents of /etc/fstab. Changes in the MD code
provide fallback mechanisms for systems not using the loader.
A more robust fallback path is also provided, with the last recourse
being to prompt on the console for a root device.
These changes drastically simplify the machine-dependant parts of
the root configuration process. In addition, support for CDROM root
devices has been removed; it was a nasty hack and didn't work.

This handles the case where a disk has been initialised by 'disklabel
auto', which places a bogus and invalid slice entry on the disk.
The bootstrap is not smart enough to reject this slice, and pretends to
boot from it. Believing the the bootstrap at this point is unwise.
Booting from non-'wd' disks thus prepared is still broken, as
'disklabel -rwB xdN auto' does not initialise the disk type field, and
the bootstrap mistakenly claims that the disk is handled by 'wd'.
Behaviour is now consistent with DEVFS expected characteristics.
