>Description:
config does not accept the following line:
config netbsd root on sd0a type ffs dumps on sd0b
It gives the message:
ECONAHJA:152: "ffs" is not a configured file system
but I do have:
file-system FFS
earlier in the config file
>How-To-Repeat:
run config on configuration file which specifies the type of
the root file system
>Fix:
Unknown, but some observations:
The error message comes from 'setfstype()' and is caused by
'ht_lookup()' returning NULL.
fsopttab has the filesystem names in uppercase as keys and the
filesystem names in lower case as values.
The root fstype specifier is in lowercase and does not match
the key (which is in uppercase)
