22f56109ba Walk around the end of all the silly guessing of device types and unit 
numbers that we have been doing in the past, and read /etc/fstab off the
proposed root filesystem to determine the actual device name and vfs
type for the root filesystem.  These are then exported to the kernel
via the environment variable vfs.root.mountfrom.

0571a0f633 Fill in bi_bios_geom[] in the bootinfo structure passed to the kernel. 
This should resolve the problem raised in PR 12315, and incidentally
makes it easier to determine what geometry the BIOS is actually using
(by way of boot -v and dmesg).

b7771a65a4 Modify the boot loader to recognize the -C flag and pass the RB_CDROM 
flag to the kernel to mount a CDROM as the root filesystem.  Alternatively,
the boot_cdrom env var can be set.

As Mike Smith noted, "-C is the "wrong" way to do this", but this is
an acceptable stopgap in lieu of a better way.

Implement a new variable 'root_disk_unit' which supersedes
	'num_ide_disks' and makes it possible to explicitly set the
	root device unit number regardless of type considerations.

	If we can't calculate a dev_t for the root disk, complain and
	don't proceed to boot with an invalid boot device.
